I found this place by accident.  Looks like the wire is in the cloth already in these examples.

I don't see white, but some of the houndstooth covering looks interesting, lol.

The first link you posted included white (off white) and ivory and many other colors.   All of the  cloth covered wires you linked to were 3 conductor wiring inside the cloth outer covering, although the manufacturer could likely make the product with your desired number of conductors inside their cloth outer covering.

Good news,,, I think.

I gave this to my wife, she has a knack for research.  Sure enough in 10 minutes she found it.  1/8" sheath by itself in 10 foot sections for $10.  It's white, possibly an off white, hard to tell in the pictures.  It's expandable to an extent so shouldn't be a problem to fish a single 18 or even 16 or 14 gauge wire through it.

I figure for $10 I'll try it and see. It will be here Thursday.   If it looks good I'll go with a new engine harness and put this on myself.

Will do, it's already ordered.  Hang tight I'll check with her and I'll have some updates.

I looked at my original coil wires today. they look like they had a varnish on them. I am not sure if thats why the one appears yellow or if they really were different colors. maybe they were different colors to tell them apart. picture is after I rolled some of the tape back
