        The Atwater-Kent timer is a battery ignition.  

        A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

          Is that why they make sparkies when the points close?

            probably  it is more of a fit  issue  than electrical .. not to many options anyway    jolting the primaries on a OMC coil should create a spark on the plug.

            trial and error and if it works great

            Pesonnaly I have no wire diagrams or docs  to consider making any further comments .

            but if it works  another generation OB will live on.

              It happens so fast. Could it be that the spark you see occurs when the points open?

                Tubs,
                Them Atwater points can’t spark until the points make contact, THE OMC can’t spark until the points open, and yeah them Atwater systems is quick.
                I don’t think either can be actually visually seen with the neked eye.
