If the generator has a 2 to 11 HP Briggs & Stratton engine, you can get an
electronic module to replace the points.  It looks like this -

   http://abacus.sj.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/56f06d35e7d55c1418234f8bb5/i-1.JPG

and is available from B&S dealers for $16.99.

Remember, these small engines have magnetos, so you can't just use an ignition
meant for an automotive distributor.
