Not to get off topic but who actually built those motors? Eska? A lot of times, Eska used Tecumseh stuff; so maybe there might be a Tecumseh connection with these coils, too? Just making things up, here….

Long live American manufacturing!

Yes, the engines were made by Tecumseh. Ignition often seems to be the issue with these. You can find them branded Sears (Ted Williams) or Eska, and 9.9 or 15 hp. Lots of info online about how to gin up working ignitions. Sometimes Tecumseh lawn mower parts are involved.
