As frank sayz , “nah” … but a quicky test for the magnetism… suspend a flat blade screwdriver blade near the magnet, the magnet should draw in the steel blade from about 3/4 inch away.
And at the risk of covering old ground… how do you know that the coil is good? how was it tested? If just a simple resistance test using a VOM, that may not be good enough. I recently had a coil that tested OK with the VOM but would not produce a spark on the Mertronic, apparently there was an internal short within the secondary windings.
