Chuck if you are getting no fire to either cylinder then I would check the points first. Since it has sat for a few years you will have a few other things you want to do: clean and rebuild carb, replace the impeller, and while you have the flywheel off for the points check all the wiring for cracks and wasp nests, finally visually inspect your coils and make sure that there are no cracks or goo dripping from them.

The rectifier changes DC current to AC current for battery charging purposes.

Dyslexia strikes again !! I'm sure fireman57 meant to say that the rectifier changes AC into DC to charge the battery.......batteries don't much care for AC...
