I overhauled mags, last job I had before going to the airlines. Run into a problem with that, send pictures, maybe I'll remember something about them. They're fairly simple, 'cept for some of the big multi point radial engine models. One as old as yours probably has some phenolic bits in it, kind of like fiberglass, got replaced by plastic and nylon.
If it's easy to get to the points, might slide a piece of fine emory cloth/sandpaper (like 600 grit) between them. They'd get little points up from the flat sometimes, throw the timing off a hair. I'd guess by now you've seen that in those older motors with distributor/point ignition.

Diaphragm in the pump was bad. Gunna get it hummin then more new stuff. I am wondering how good a 60 year old welder will make a bead.
