Points, breakers and contact thingymabobs, what the heck is this?
foamy to check the capacitor you will need a multimeter that can measure capacitance, a rarity. however you can check with continuity between the lead and the metal case, ther should be no continuous continuity. I assume the generator doesnt have a battery and runs a magneto type ignition? as far as the ignition coil goes check continuity between ... the cable to the coil and the metal coil mounting, this should be a low reading the plug lead and the metal coil mounting, this should be a high reading 5 thousand ohms (ish)...secondary winding If your capacitor is shorting it will prevent running...if this is the case try disconnecting it to see if you get a spark and if so get a new capacitor aka (condenser) another thing to look for... check the spring of the moving contact isnt touching anything as it's a 'live' part of the system. The moving contact sits on plastic insulating washers to isolate it from chassis

DT 125 RE - Best way to remove rust?
as above a scotchbrite pad is good for light rust, a wire wheel (bench or drill mounted) a scraper for loose flakes, fine emery cloth for tricky nooks and crannies. Jenolite rust remover...for finishing Plastikote BBQ Paint available from Wilkinsons stores and B&Q Theses are are methods I would use but most importantly...keep it clean and clean off the crud regularly after wet riding conditions and remove and paint again when it starts to show signs of rust...dont ignore it exhausts are expensive!
