Birny,
Somtimes you just have to outwit the merchandise! My first experience with replacing coils came many years ago when I got a Mighty Mite. The coil was dead. So I went to NAPA and found a small engine coil that was a small enough size to fit under the flywheel, but the core opening in the new coil was larger than the original. All I did was pad the opening with thin cardboard and voila!—I had spark. That led me to experiment with other coil replacements that I’ve written about. It’s when you’ve tried everything and you’re at your wits end that you take bold steps to experiment. Good job on your part!
