Dave, a good mag should not normally Spark from the points, this could be signs of the condenser needing replacement.

When you hand crank it over a few times does the plug get wet?

Just out of interest is the magneto impulse working as it should? You should hear a clunk clunk when you turn the engine over slowly by hand.
