I do not have a diagram, but the points act as a switch between the batteries (D or C cells) and the light on the side. OR you could use an Ohmmeter connected across the dizzy body and terminal for the capacitor- coil and the meter will show you not only the opening and closing of the points, but also if the points have resistance - resistance should be zero. And if your meter also checks capacitance, you can check the condition of the capacitor!!! You can trash the wires.
