Blue Bird: The board will not let me answer your PM.
I don't think anyone would bother to rebuild a magneto coil. It is simply copper windings over a plastic core. Costs more to unwind then rewind that to make new. And the core is worth maybe a penny to a nickel. So it is reasonable to assume you are buying new parts.
My only experience with the company was this: I had an old unidentified engine. The only numbers I had were on the cast magneto carrier plate. They referenced their database and told me it was a West Bend (I forget what year) and the magnetos were available at 40 bucks each.
Well, 80 bucks put into an engine worth 30-50 just did not make sense, especially since there was no emotional reason to keep the engine.
