I've snatched up a 1974 British Seagull outboard.
It's got a flywheel magneto, typical on most older small outboards.
Problem is, I tested the coil with an ohm meter between the spark plug lead and ground. Zero.
I don't know much about electrick-city, I found the above test on a YouTube video.
Can coils like this be repaired?

I would think you could find a mag energized coil off an old lawnmower or such to at least check that the coil is your only problem. I have found problems with the magnets in the flywheel which would lose 'strength' when hot and kill spark.
