quote Buccaneer:
DRD, The 3D11B Buccaneer was my first outboard. It was my
grandfather’s, and I used it all the time in the 70’s when
I was in my teens. Great little outboard. I took it down from
the rafters last year, fired it up, and ran it in the barrel.
The coil insulation was all cracked up, but it still ran decent.

This site shows how to test coils….

Good Luck!
My Buccaneer was also my grandfather’s, then my father’s, and now mine. My father retired it in about 1980 when he could not acquire a new water pump. That was the first thing I replaced. Then I rebuilt the carb, and replaced the ignition system.
