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

Thanks for the video but my original coils are different than the ones being replaced in the video. The attached show what mine look like as they sit in the motor and then a second pic shows a spare, non-working coil that’s been removed from motor.

Given that, do you have any further suggestions? Thank-you so much for your help.

I “think” these may work, but hopefully someone will confirm.

Tried to post the following 3 links together for 2
days. Wouldn’t came up. I’ll try them posting them
separately. This is what is available today. They are
the same except for where the plug wire attaches.
They can be made to work.

Correct NOS ones are available if you want to spend the money.
This member also offers them with the condenser. Check his listings.

You can also use these. Mounts the same.
You just ground out the extra spark plug lead.

I received the above coils and I think they will work. But I need to replace points and condensers also. Can anyone steer me to a source for points and condensers? Thanks, you guys and your help are awesome!

[dave-bernard]

Keep the points just clean and dress them really well. you ca make a condenser with a capacitor of the same value.
