Recently aquired a omc serial number 4010715      i damaged one of the plug wires trying to remove the plugs     is there a replacement coil available?    also mounting bracket is broke on one end , never dealt with battery ignition before     what kind of battery would i need ?     Can send pics if needed

You can repair your coil using this coil-

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

Your coil tube is smaller but I think this coil will fit.

Tubs,

Great instructions except it calls for 10 ohms resistabce, more like 8 to 10 K. ohms. Also when I did industrial electrical the soldered, bolted together connections it was wrapped with cambric tape (insulating) tape before using blsck Scotch 33 tape for better insulating compaired to “Jap Wrap” tape to improve connections. Also clean the soldering tip & pre tin for faster heat conduction. For single cylinder apps ground onespark plug wire for a much hotter spark.Super video for beginners!!

With no pictures I am not sure which coil you have, but guessing it is the one that has 2 brackets on the outside to use to attach to mounting bosses on the motor….I do 3 d printing and I am currently designing Resin printed tube to allow a modern coil to be installed that will fit in this application.. I have 2 motors here one is a 1934 Speeditwin, the other is a 1933 Elto Lightweight Model # 444.  Both use this type of coil…

The system will allow easy access to let one replace the coil, plug wires and such without dealing with that blasted nasty tar…

I am making progress…

 

Cheers

Best guess, going by ” battery ignition” and the number posted,
leads me to believe he has a model 401.
