Are both coils showing an open circuit?
Photos and coil & laminate measurements may help with solutions.BTY, I just picked up two of the 1934 Lightwins, but have not started
working on them yet.
Prepare to be boarded!
I wonder if Evinrude Zypher coils would work?
Another option may be to use the Military Scintilla style coils,
but, if possible, lots of monkey business involved to get them
to fit on the laminates.Prepare to be boarded!

Zephyr coils are the same as the coils in your motor. Before you pay for a replacement, have the seller check to be sure it isn’t open like yours. Pretty common with this coil. Also be sure the wire connection is tight and doesn’t move if you try to twist it. Use caution when removing and connecting the plug wires and installing the coil.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Before you go too far, confirm that you measured the resistance at the coil, across the two wire connections. If you measured from one lead to ground, you would expect to see an open circuit.
