    Hi and thank you very much for responding so quick!

    I’m a newbie to old motors so what and where are the coils?

    Coils are under the flywheel (Flywheel must be removed for access).

    ALL 1956-58 OMC twins have bad (cracked) coils unless they have already been replaced. They would be the first place I’d look if starting on such a motor because it won’t run worth a hoot if they are bad.. Don’t know what “got electrical fixed” includes. Perhaps it is taken care of.
