Default RE: testing magneto ignition

Could not see a spark. Turned the lights down some too.
The black coil box has 2 wires that go to the engine case.
One directly to it, the other goes to it through the ignition switch.
Both test good continuity to the case.

Can that coil and spark plug wire be found at a local small machine shop or would I have to order one?
Also, I"m finging Allen head cap head screws that don't fit my allen tools.
It uses something between 1/8" and 5/32". Is that SAE or Metric? What size?
