Reply To: 1914 Evinrude Shreveport coil

Hello: Thank you for getting back to us. That coil is an odd one. They have been running the engine with a car coil. Buzz coils fire when the points make contact and the car coil fires when the contacts break as was the original design. We rewind magneto coils and even a dead coil would be a big help. If the flywheel is the same inside and out possibly this is the coil setup it is supposed to have. If the radius and orientation of the poleshoes of the magnet are the same it should work. It would make sense for Ole to market his ignition system that he is already tooled up for to other engine builders. Any more info would be greatly appreciated.
