looks a like the K50 that I have except the top of the flywheel not sure what that is. The one I have does not have a cover for the plugs either.
I used condensers from a 60’s Chevy had to tap a hole for each one then made small plates to cover them on the bottom of the mag plate. When you replace the plug wires cut the wire about 1" from the coil and solder there cover with shrink tube or liquid electrical tape. That way you do not risk getting the coil too hot and messing it up. They are great running motors takes a little getting used to the mag and carb not being linked. After you get it primed mine will usually start on the first pull the rest of the day. I am using lubriplate 105 in the lower unit and so far have not found water in it when grease changed last couple of years.
