[MV] M37 running! Need advice!

List,
The M37 fired off and ran for about 8 minutes, sputtering badly, blowing a
wasp nest out of the exhaust pipe, but none the less it runs! I have some
questions though.

1. I set the point gap to 0.018, got good spark at the points when manually
opened. The coil I have is old and looks like it served its last tour. Is
it possible for a coil to fire enough, but not be real "HOT"? I mean, can a
coil die slowly? It just doesnt seem to hit real well.

2. I noticed when it was running, one of the batteries started sputtering
acid water out the caps. These are new batteries. Can you get too much
charge from the generator? Is it gonna blow up and take me out too!

3. Once I get it running again, should I use a top cylinder lubricant like
Marvel Mystery oil or what? It acts like some valves are not moving yet.

Thanks!
