      Working on a slow restoration, a 1931 OMC Lightweight with a Battery ignition.

      This would be my first somewhat functional battery motor.

      The timer is complete, it clicks, and turns over well. About 90 PSI in both cylinders.

      The coil, however, is a totally different story. It is brittle, and the wires are basically nonexistent.

      Would someone be able to fix this if I mailed it to them?

      I haven’t seen too much about these motors online, so if anyone knows more information about them, any would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks!

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