yes they will work ... get them while cheap
check compression before spending $$$$$ report back findings
change plug wires and boots while at it. use 7mm solid strand copper wire

local bike shops or small motor shops could sell a few feet to you

I have use basic metallic strand 7mm wires and that work to .

do not use carbon fiber wire

A TN-28 (1952½-53) uses those coils and the regular automotive type breaker points. The older T-series, including the TD-10 & 20, plus TN-25 through TN-27 use the old guillotine style points.

TN27 like the TN28 also uses the more "modern coils", points and condensers .

see Johnson manual page 29

anytime you want to work on oldies the best book around is this one for $20 just download and print locally. save it on ypour PC hard drive. or laptop


dirt cheap 400 page + manual covering all aspects of your engine.

J& E are cousins and this Johnson book pretty well covers what you would need on an Evinrude cousin.

covers ignition ...carbs... gear case shifting neutral on some TN,s etc... etc..
