Default Helmet Distributer Coil rebuild

Skip Haney, 29436 Taralane Dr., Punta Gorda FL 33982, is still in business as of Sept 2022. Call 941-505-9085 and leave message. He called me back within an hour.
Prices now for coil rebuild is $115.00 complete. Call first to insure your coil is rebuildable. He advised that many of the replacement coils from various "OEM" retailers are not.

That is the best and most reliable coil you'll find anywhere in my opinion, if you want to keep the appearance of your engine looking original and working as Henry intended. Even if you have an original NOS, never been used coil, most likely the internal insulation used the on magnet wire for coil windings 80+ years ago has started to deteriorate and break down dielectrically, and will fail as a result of turn to turn shorting. Don't ask me how I know this
