Ted Williams 7HP with no spark

[Scott J]

I have an old Sears 7 HP outboard Ted Williams model #217-59440. There is no spark, it is a solid state ignition system. I checked the resistance in the coil and it has an open circuit. I am looking to find a coil for this motor and cannot find a replacement for it. I have checked the Sears web site and a few others with no success. I am wondering if you can swap this coil for a different one from another outboard or small engine? <br /><br />Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Scott

Re: Ted Williams 7HP with no spark

look through this forum. Under one of the threds about Eska engines, somebody mentioned an online store that sells parts for old engines -- I think it was jackssmallengines.com but I don't remember for sure.<br /><br /><br />d)<br /><br />Just found another one:<br />www.discount-marine-parts.com<br /><br />Hope this helps d)

Re: Ted Williams 7HP with no spark

I was able to find a coil at the following http://home.earthlink.net/~brixent. They have quite a few Eska parts. This website has a list of availbe parts sorted by p/n, so it helps to know the p/n of what you are looking for. I was able to find the p/n for the coil I was looking for at the Sears website. The one downside is that the coils are very expensive, $85. This kept me from purchasing one, seems like a lot of money to put into this outboard.<br /><br />I hope this helps,<br /><br />Scott
