Contrary to my previous post when it was initially thought you had a B1F, if you find the ignition coil is bad, it may not be possible to easily find a replacement coil for your S1E.   The S1E was equipped with an Eisemann 61E magneto and a replacement Eisemann coil is pretty rare.  However, others here on the forum may be able to offer some ideas for a substitute coil that could work.

Bob,  It appears to have a pretty strong spark.  I’m cleaning the carb now and just need to figure out a way to replace the start plate and see if it runs.  Once it’s running the next need will be tiller.  Stay tuned

Before I forget, the tank is removed and it appears something needs to be removed in order to get the tank back on or is there a trick to getting it installed?  I plan on pull some of it apart just to make sure everything else is there and functional but it seems like I need to either pull the flywheel to install it from the top or remove the powerhead from the lower unit to install it from the bottom.  Any hints ?

Thanks
