Answer
Information is really scarce on the Otasco motors. In a nutshell, they apparently made in 1968-69 in 31/2,5,and 7 hp.

You might try Twin City Outboards.  They might know a part that will fit.

You could also try a Nova II igntion system.  I've had good luck with them on various older engines.
