641 turns over okay. Watched a youtube video on diagnosis and said to connect test light to distributor terminal as first check. I get a solid light which is good. Second test is to do same thing but this time crank engine. Test light is supposed to flash with the points open/close. But I still get solid light with this test. Video said that this means bad points. So I bought new Blue Streak points and condensor and get same results.

I thought maybe that gasket may have gotten damaged during the install so I put in a round fiber gasket there (in addition to the original) to insure no contact. Did not matter.
Tractor was running before the carb rebuild and new ignition kit. Third step in video is to check spark but that was predicated on passing step two - which I have not.
