Need a coil for old Johnson

[richard1]

We are looking for a coil for an old Johnson. The dealer says it is late 1940's or early 1950's. Model #946827TN28. This was all the info we could find on the motor.<br />RichRchrd1@aol.com<br />Thank you.

****,<br />Welcome to the board!<br /><br />Your motor is a 1952 or 1953.<br /><br />I have the same motor, a higher serial number, but the same model. <br /><br />You can find the coils by calling Dee at Marine Parts outlet in Stuart Florida, at 561-283-3433. <br />I don't know for sure about Napa, but Napa Stores carry Sierra parts that match up also. Any local Napa store should be also able to get them for you.<br /><br />Good luck and let me know how she runs when you get it all back together.

Re: Need a coil for old Johnson

****, Your TN-28 is a 1952-1953 5 HP. I do not know about the coil that is in your motor, but a lot of the old OMC coils are available from your local Evinrude/Johnson dealer or NAPA auto parts.<br /><br />Copies of the original repair, owners, and parts manuals are available from the Ken Cook Company.<br /><br /> http://www.kencook.com/kccwww/marinepubs/marinepubs.html <br /><br />Hopefully the dealer that could not give you any other information on the motor was not an Evirude/Johnson dealer. If they were, find a different dealer.<br /><br />There are parts links available ont he Antique Outboard Motor Club site. There is a section to post questions also. Here is the link<br /><br /> http://www.aomci.org

Thank you for all your help. We have ordered the coil from the local NAPA parts store. Hopefully, this will get the old girl up and running.
