Thanks all. I didn't want to invest in one vs the other if one was more rare or valuable. I think I am going to invest in the usual new battery, carb clean/rebuilt, plugs and see how they both go.
I had a bit of time today to mess with the 105 since it was the closest to running. Cleaned the sediment bowl and ran some carb cleaner through the carb. It starts with a fresh battery but amp meter shows D(ischarge) vs C(harge). The day I picked it up we had to either jump it to keep running or run a fresh battery.
Previous owner said it had points issues, is there a minimum voltage where the points/magneto(?) or other ignition parts will cut out? I know I need to trace the charging issue but the cutting off is odd to me. I am more familiar with slightly more modern ignitions (duraspark, hei etc).
The VR looks to be shiny so probably pretty new and the wiring to it is pretty new too.
I found some wiring diagrams on the site so will trace with that too.
thanks.
