Not sure I understand the question - are you sayng you need new coils for you electronic ignition twin cylinder?

If so, are you sure BOTH coils have failed? This is almost unheard of, and if indicated, I would suggest that the kill wire is shorted!

The coils are not unique to this engine - if you do need them let me know I can probably help.
