Original is almost impossible to find. 6 volt coils for Cushman scooters, while only 1 output terminal, will fire one of the plugs. Just tuck the other wire in the magneto so it doesn’t get caught on the spinning flywheel. That is how a vast majority of Simplex’s run on this side of the pond. Carpenter Cushman has them, reproduction for about $35.
