Could all this dried / baked on junk on the mag plate be from the coils?
These coils are pre-OMC universal coils and laminates. I’m not sure
I remember these, or what the coils looked like new. There’s no broken
up chunks of plastic like the old universal coils.
Both cylinders had spark before I took the motor apart.That being said, If I need to replace the coils, will universal coils work?
A quick glance says it wouldn’t be a easy swap, if even possible.
Thanks.

Thanks for the help guys, I’ll check out that part number!
Update-
Well, I checked out that parts number on EBay, and there were several of those NOS
coils, but everyone only had one coil for sale, and they were all more than
I paid for the motor.I did find an old thread on site though, showing a successful coil swap
of a QD-10, having the same original coils as my Fastwin, so I’ll
compare my mag plate tomorrow to see how similar it is to the QD-10
shown in the link.

Just curious but why would the ’50 Fastwin be rated at 14 horsepower when it looks the same as my ’50 Elto Speedster wedge head which is rated at 12 horsepower? Would this maybe have something to do with keeping the Gale products as a second tier motor while placing the Evinrudes on the top shelf?
I think the 12 & 14hp had different reeds. Maybe that is where they found an extra 2hp?
