I will probably get beat up for this but that's OK.
A procedure for a good starting engine. 6 volt electric start.
Use 2 D cell batteries in series as a power supply
Adjust the gap to a .130 inch space.
Adjust the tension on the points so that the coil just barely buzzies. The coil should thrown a spark hot enough to jump the gap.
If it doesn't check the capacitor and make sure the points are clean and the dwell gap is about .005 in.
New Capacitor testers can be ordered on the internet for maybe 20 bucks.
Good luck to the buyer.

The coil tester was sold two years ago. That ad was posted in September of 2021
