Johnson 5hp

[R-J]

Hello I recently bought a 1953 Johnson 5hp outboard to restore and naturally the coils are toast I was wondering if these coils would work? If anyone knows please let me know thanks.

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

[TN-25]

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.

 

[Crosbyman]

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

see Johnson manual page 29
