How can I fix a Homelite XL@?

I am trying to fix an older Homelite XL2 for a young lady. I am putting in a new set of points but can't seem to find what the point gap seting should be. So my question is,: what is the point gap setting for a Homlite XL2. Also do you know how I can set the gap between the coil and the flywheel.

Thanks

The points gap should be cast on engine but with Wico ignition mine is .015". The coil is supposed to be fixed (non-adjustable) so... your guess is as good as mine.
