I obtained my first Antique Outboard from a family friend that after hearing my story about restoring an old wooden boat that I learned to ski behind 30+ years ago thought I should have a period motor if/when I get this family heirloom back in the water. The boat is rather unique in itself as it is a Niles Craft made in Niles, Michigan and oddly enough in todays world of all information available over the internet, I cannot find any information about Niles Craft.

Sorry for the back story and onto my question. My motor is a 1956 Scott Ser# 39654695 which has a Wico FW2255 magneto. The coils are rotted out and I cannot seem to find any place to locate replacements. It would be ideal I assume to find replacement parts for not only the coils, but also the points and other dated parts of this ignition system. What information I have found about these motors does lead me to believe it might not be the easiest thing to restore and get back to working condition, but I have to say over the past year of tinkering with this motor I have grown an affection for it that will not allow me to push it aside. Any help in my efforts to restore this beauty would be greatly appreciated!
