Dittos Bob on the dry weather but I understand you’ve been getting quite a bit of rain up there. Its on the Maine list but we are planning a trip to Wisconsin Memorial Day weekend so, weather permitting, its going to be on a boat for a little bit. Its the original coil. It tested good on a Merc-o-Tronic. Motor seems to run well. I ran it for over two hours to see if any issues would pop up. I think its good to go. Points are the same as the Pre. WW-II Pals, Scout, Ranger, the 1hp Johnson’s, and possibly others, so they are easy to come by. They were fine in this motor but this style of points loose continuity when they sit for a long time, between the brass bar, that the wire connects to, and the contact that moves. You won’t have a spark. Most people think the coil is bad but once you take them apart and clean them, the spark returns.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
