Sounds like you figured it out, to me. It’s just my humble opinion but it seems like, whenever vendors are changed, to supply parts for obsolete engines, nobody really much cares whether they work or not. In fact, sometimes it seems they want to further discourage you from fixing old stuff, precisely BY supplying you with crap parts. Maybe it’s just my imagination. Anyway, those engines had a slew of ignition aggravations; but coils usually were not too bad, as I remember it….unless they cracked wide open somewhere. If I had the stomach to still work on those engines, which were just another nail in OMC’s coffin, I would be using the old coils until they failed….if they ever would fail.
Long live American manufacturing!
