"That’s good to know that it can be done. Good job. I have an old Tecumseh engine the has a smaller diameter coil. Maybe that might fit."
That reminds me that there are small coils available at NAPA that are replacements for small air cooled engines. Years ago I installed a small coil ( I can’t remember what it fit) into a Neptune Mighty Mite mag. There was a slight difference in the core size and I use thin cardboard to fill the gap…Still runs great to this day. The coils do not have to have a perfect fit on the core to get spark. Plus—those coils are way cheaper than marine industry ones. Go visit a NAPA store sometime and ask to see their small engine catalog.
Good job Birney!
