[AT] B&S coil

[Doug Tallman]

Charlie, if its electronic ignition, there isn't an easy way to test the 
primary. I left Don's original post below. He states that it is a mid 
70s and he's cleaned the points. So........ He would have the capability 
of checking the primary. Depending on flywheel configuration, he might 
be able to upgrade it to electronic ignition with the newer coil. Doug T
