In this video, we take a look at the best way I have found to get back spark on older outboards that may be suffering from a bad coil without worrying about sourcing rare and expensive antique outboard parts.

Hello! Thank you for sharing this video, it was very informative. I'm currently restoring my first 1947 Sears & Roebuck 5.5hp Elgin outboard. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing the link to where you purchased the coil replacement? Also what would you recommend for spark plug replacement, anything specific?

Would it be safe to clean the laminates with wool for rust ?

Hi there. I recently acquired a single cylinder Sea King outboard motor 7 horsepower. Based on the numbers and what I can find I think it's a 7.5 hp. Anyway no spark. Your video helped me when it comes to changing the coil. Long story short I ordered a coil, spark plug wire, points and condenser. Cleaned everything all off. Installed everything and set the gap for the points at .020". New spark plug gapped at .030".

When taking the new coil off the new laminate do you have to cut the epoxy or just start pulling?
@Bobbybbops
Is it necessary to use a coil spacer tool to make sure coils are seated properly?

I use an old penny in front of the puller so it doesn't mark up the laminate.

I tried to do this same thing and the new coil did not fit on the old laminate. The old laminate is 1/2” rather that 7/16”. Do you happen to know where to find a 1/2” one?
