[SEL] John Deere 1 1/2hp E ignitor

[cgandree at mchsi.com]

Ok guys I just rebuilt my magnito on my JD 1 1/2 E and charged it properly.  After putting it back on the engine and making sure
that the gears were at the marks as before I attempted to start the engine but no go.  I removed the ignitor and cleaned and oiled everything so
the it would trip properly. Tried to turn it over but still no go.  My question is, should the points on this ignitor be open or closed?  Mine 
are closed.  Sure would likes some words of wisdom from the group.
Thank you in advance.
