      I’m working on the subject motor for a high-school friend.
      Just went through the magneto today. I was happy to see
      that the coils looked in good shape, and tested out okay.
      Were any OMC coils “purple” back in 1967, or were these
      aftermarket? The plug wires were pretty stiff.
      From what I understand, this motor probably hasn’t
      run for a few decades.

        I recall seeing a lot of those Buc and always thought they were OMC. But according to whoever put this display together, if I’m seeing the color correctly, he has them marked as possible aftermarket.

          Thanks Steve. AI didn’t think OMC ever had any purple coils either.
