"If it's running well, I wouldn't touch the plugs or points or water impeller. It's a good idea to inspect the impeller at the beginning of the season, but I wouldn't change it unless it's more than a couple of years old or showing signs of fatigue.
Points and plugs? Unless you are experienced in doing this, pulling the flywheel and adjusting the points may do more harm than good. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Clean and gap the plugs when you fog the cylinders. I also spray fogging oil into the carb intake and crank the motor 3 or 4 times to ensure the bearings all get a good coating of oil on them."
