I have a 68 140 in the 2200 ser. range, the magneto doesn`t work great. I would like to switch to battery ignition, so I cut the plug wire where it comes out of the flywheel, cut the wire that goes from magneto to points, put in a internal resistor coil, change condenser, put a battery ignition switch in and wire from ign. switch to + side of coil and run wire from - side of coil to new condenser and points. Do I have this right?

Point's are critical on those models. I fought with mine for awhile until for grins I sanded on the new set of points and wouldn't you know... We got fire. I don't understand why new points needed sanded but that was the issue. I thought my mag as down as well.

Steve new points have a coating on them to protect against oxidation while sitting waiting to be used. Sanding takes it off. Roger
