I ended up ordering a couple of those cheap, aftermarket coils for
Tecumseh engines. They’re a little loose on the laminations,
and with the way they’re made with the secondary tower
shooting out the end of the coil, they end up 3/16″ taller than
the original coils.
I would have to tear the Sea King back apart to see if the flywheel
would clear.
I mocked up one of the Tecumseh coils on a Gale mag plate that
was loose.
The plug wire would rub on the rotating magnet, unless it’s “bound back”
like in the photo, with a tie wrap.
When I get in the mood, I’ll probably investigate some more,
with the possibility of these working for a coil swap.
The best part about these coils is that they only cost me $29.27
for “two”, with free shipping, off of EBay.
