A couple of questions before the first starting attempt

[DewCatTea-Bob]

Speaking of pistons, is it possible to identify the piston in my bike by reading what's stamped on the top part? I can see some digits/letters through the spark plug hole.

____ Maybe. _ What-all such markings can you see, to be read that way ?

Well, it finally started! Not too bad, a few careful kicks, no kickback
A bit rough when I rev it but that's expected since I still need to do some timing adjustments and check the Amal carb jetting.
Also I think I have an exhaust leak.

Here's a video of the points while it's idling. Is it normal for the points to spark so much?

____ It seems pretty-much as normal.
I don't have any definite explanation for the occasional flash though. _ Are the contact-faces completely clean of any contaminate ?

Either I over-oiled the felt block and/or the AAU, or oil is leaking from behind the AAU.
I will clean the traces of oil and check for flashes again.

Thanks
