I got the starter working now but there is no spark.

It has points and condensor under the flywheel and a magnet on the flywheel
working with a magneto/coil.

A friend of mine thinks that it should have either the points and condensor,
or the flywheel magnet, but not both. Is that correct?

B&S markets a replacement electronic ignition module. Forget the points
and just upgrade it. B&S also markets a repair book for their small
engines. You can probably find it at Wal-Mart in the garden section.
That's where I found mine.
