The manual diagrams 8 series connected coils.  Suppose they could have 
paralleled a pair of 4 coils, but I'm guessing that won't give you the 
desired output even with necessarily much bigger coils.

It should be something which can be made to work when unearthed in an 
archeological dig a thousand years from now.  However, the big stator 
recall, though believe the ignition part of it, was just a stupid wire 
or two failing!

Best,
