      I need to get two new coils for my Elgin outboard motor.  the green coils have a part number of 1000012 on single coil, nothing on the other coil.  that green coils from Asia.

      Are these coils available on Ebay, or other marine parts outlets?  The coils number is not returning search results.  the motor is the selectable horsepower 3, 7,12 HP version from Sears.

      thanking you in advance.

        This is the magneto from my 1959 12 hp.
        Is this like your mag?
        It may be possible to do a coil swap using OMC
        universal coils. Perhaps someone that’s done
        it on this magneto will chime in.

          The model number of your Elgin would help.  Or the manufacturer.  Or a picture of the engine and mag plate.

          The bad coils on there now are green and from Asia?

            Do either of these look familiar?

                    571.8901 is listed as a 1955 12hp, made by west bend.  Closest I can come is 1957 12hp west bend, model 160941.  Yep, X7500 coils.
