I see a possible short circuit. The fleck I have circled in the picture could be rust or something metallic, either way it can't be good. It will bridge chassis ground to the isolated portion of the points, the swing arm.
Can you address that, and also take another picture of the face of the points, they look burnt to me. Remove the power wire from the ignition coil, use a screwdriver to spread open the points while trying to take a picture |
