Are your coils like these? If so, there should be plenty used
ones "out there". Put an ad in the classifieds. Usually, these
old ones are still good.

Should be some on EBay as well. Here’s some, but say’s "no spark".
Mostly likely he didn’t know how to test them correctly.

Yeah, those breaker points in the ad look like a horse pooped on them. Probably why it has no spark. How about yours?

Gale model 2W7 – coils are usually good . . . 😎

underclerik, remove the breaker points and dis-assemble them, degrease them, and individually polish each contact shiny bright. Reassemble and set gap to 0.020" at widest opening. I’m betting you will have fire.

However, what’s with that sheet metal screw? If it is shorted to ground, that is a problem.

Have already disassembled points and cleaned, both coils are open on secondary side

It would be surprising if that sheet metal screw, holding the points together, is not a problem. In order to force that screw in there, the tiny insulator bushings, shown as part no. 42 in Buccaneer’s diagram, must be destroyed or missing. They are very small, delicate, and very easily lost. Time to look for another points assembly. Used points assemblies are fairly easy to come by, and new old stock ones are still around.

As others have mentioned, those coils, most of the time, are still good. Have you tested them with a multimeter of ohmmeter? Like the points, used coils are also fairly common. NOS coils are very expensive if you can even find them.

Here is a very helpfull website: http://pochefamily.org/outboard/Coils.htm

He sez both coils are open on the secondary side. Unusual, but not impossible.

More than likely both condensers are defective.
