My experience is that while true the risk is exaggerate.
Ever developed a miss to find a plug wire has come off?
I cant say how many times that has happened
to me but it never ruined a coil so I would suspect
the likelihood of ruining one from just pulling a motor
over is pretty slim on these old magneto ignitions.
I have a motorcycle that I can switch from battery
ignition to a magneto. As there is only 1 spark plug
per cylinder I would have to remove the plug wires
from the mag. I never grounded them. The last time
I tried to use the coil in the mag it was dead. Took
awhile but I’m sure that is the reason.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
