Help identifying and dating a 1920s rowboat motor

[Tom]

Where is the fitting labeled “to-coils” mounted? I’ve never seen that fitting on an old Evinrude.

It is located on top of speed control. Left prong goes thru magneto plate (looks like a stock Ingress point) and to the coil. The right prong goes to ground. Picts to follow

I can’t be sure what it is, it’s not original to the motor. There was, on the motors with those two plug in connectors, a jumper that ran across two screw on terminals. You left it in place when using the magneto, but disconnected it when boosting the magneto with a battery.
