This is fun stuff!  Thanks for the replies and the directions to get this little motor up and running.

Is there a way to check the coil on this Neptune AA1?  Sorry, I’m a bit electronically challenged but I can learn.

There are ways to test.  One quick trick is once you have the whole magneto wired up you can use a multimeter and put one side on ground and the other on the spark plug wire and if you get a reading it might be fine..but if you’re replacing the condensers that should be an easy fix to just test if the coil is good via spark.

Is there any way that you can take a picture of the magneto plate under the flywheel and post it up here? Seeing what kind of points, condenser and coil setup you have will help others help you. Neptune used, I know of, 3 different manufacturers over the years for there magneto set ups. Depending on what brand you have, people may have parts that you may need. Also take a picture of your broken lower unit. I may have one that you can have. Just pay me to ship it.

That looks to be the phelon coil.  It looks a bit worse for wear, so you may want to start searching for (but not buying) a different coil in case replacing the condensers does not work.

I have a good magneto with new parts and a good lower housing. You can have them if you just pay shipping. I will never use them. I would have to take to post office and see how much shipping and insurance would be. I will need your contact information. Text me at two zero one- 3 nine zero- 3 five 1 nine.
