If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Break out a meter and check everything for shorts. Or too high of a resistance. Or for an open circuit.
And if possible, have someone use a strong drill to spin the engine without the spark plug installed, though connected, while checking for voltages.

Did all of that....except for spinning it with a drill. Spinning it over by hand should produce plenty of spark but produces absolutely none. New coil, properly air gapped, and new points.
But it's vintage!!!
But it's a flathead! I've been saving 2 of them for 30+ years just knowing they might be needed some day. @stgislander , if you'd like to save the frustration factor, I'll see if I can dig them out. I have a 3hp and maybe a 2.5hp points motors somewhere in my mess.
It is frustrating because after pulling the head, the inside was pristine with the exception of the exhaust valve not fully seating. 10 minutes of TLC and voila... compression. It would be interesting to see if your's still run.But it's a flathead!

Hmmm. Do they make electronic ignitions for that old iron? Hell, Gilligan probably has something lying around in the shop.

Just sneakin' around....
Yes, and not expensive, like $20-$30. I did this to my old Troy Built tiller from the mid 80s, and my neighbor is still using it.
Is the flywheel magnet clean and strong?
Ya know....I didn't actually check the magnet strength....will do that. It's an old style design with magnets "glued" to the inner diameter of the flywheel instead being embedded in that or the outer diameter surface like more modern small engines..
I probably have a couple bottles of magnetic field on the shelf somewhere..
Had a B&S I had to clean every two years, this is only a guess because I don't know squat about engines.

OOOHHHHhhhh....... THERE'S your problem.....
