well first make sure that the gap between the armature and the flywheel is about .010" then if its properly set up the breaker points will open and close creating the necessary break in the current to allow a spark to be generated by the breaker points the gap should be about .020" on most modles but check the manual for your specific modles if they open and close at the right time then it will spark different modles use different methods but if they are hooked up right then the engine will fire on time
