Hi Speedy,
The Honda and Wico coil aren't going to fit this early coil ,I thought it may have had the later coil but is the same
as the Rotomo and early Pope.
My old Pope coil was 3.93 so your coil looks good at 3.84.
The air gap on all my coils the same as this SB one can't be adjusted as the E core is pinned to the alloy plate, The
Pope I converted to pointless ignition had one pin hole drilled in a different position than it should have so the air gap
was less than normal on one side so I removed one metal pin and moved the coil on that side and then
tightened the mounting bolt.
When I adjusted the air gap, you can move the coil closer to the flywheel with the flywheel removed ,then fit the flywheel
and turn the motor over and if you can hear and feel the coil rubbing on the magnets just remove the flywheel and look
at the mounting position of the E core and adjust it back a little and tighten the bolt and fit the flywheel and turn the flywheel
so you know the magnets aren't rubbing. If you scribe a line when the coil rubs you should be able to adjust the coil back
006 - . 010".
I usually just check where the pins are in the core with these coils and if both are drilled in the same position and the
core isn't rubbing it should be ok.
I haven't seen this early type of coil work with an E module but I know the Atom modules were different for different coils.
If there is still no spark after working on the mower you can fit points back or rework the E core to take a later Victa coil.
( a later Victa points coil and a Powertorque module can be used)
Cheers
Max.
