Any compatible coil assemblies from same era but maybe different manufacturer ? Newer options?

Thanks in advance

How have you determined that the coil is bad. Have you cleaned the point assembly and checked for spark. A picture of the coil in the magneto will help with possible options.

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

Hey Tubs, thanks for responding. The primary circuit seems good, the secondaries bounce between 5 and the mid teens but I only have a digital tester. Looks like someone replaced the condenser at some point so I need to test that yet. Cleaned and set the points and there is definitely no spark to the plugs.

Tried uploading image and tried responding multiple time from different devices. Web site keeps blocking me with errors. Frustrating

What errors?

2 mb maximum size on your photos..

It should just drag and drop into the box, then your photo will “transfer” to the box.

Then you should see a thumbnail sized photo. If memory serves you should also see an option to include said photo into the body of your message.

I got a 500 error yesterday trying to post.
Usually, I get some other snag where only
some of the photos will post, or are the
wrong photos all together.

Prepare to be boarded!

Ok, thanks for all the suggestions. I misread the file size so this was likely my issue. The old 1D10T error.
