Yep. They are under the flywheel / fan unit.
under the rubber kidney shaped plug
ok, found and cleaned the points, I get some spark but weak, could it be a bad coil or condenser. It started in the morning and 4 hours later no go. help please.
try a new gapped spark plug, also try grounding your blue wire.
A bad coil isn't very likely. Could certainly be a bad condenser.
Hello Zack,
I need to replace the points and condenser on my Grande as well. Just curious at this point how hard it would be to actually replace the points rather than cleaning? Any further guidance on how to remove the flywheel is helpful - thank you.

Correct flywheel puller does that job and the points are held in place by a single screw .
Point file , brake cleaner and a fresh dollar bill do a nice job on the old points .
