Kohler coil lead

[RayC]

Hey Guys, Ever run into a coil that works great but the mice have chewed the primary lead down to the bare wire? The engine is a 10hp kohler. Coils for this thing are $50!! Anyone ever replace the lead? I am thinking of trying to insulate it somehow any ideas? Thanks in advance. Ray

Shrink tube.

Goto radio shack or their website & check out their heat shrink tubing assortment(item#278-1627)put 1 or 2 different sizes on wire & shrink,if coil lead has a lug on it,you'll probably have to cutoff & replace after installing tubing,if lead bare up to shell of coil,slide tubing over wire & tight to shell & shrink,after lead repaired,put some epoxy or red rtv sealant on end of tubing/shell to hold/seal same.

Good idea guys. Don't know why that didn't cross my mind. I like it. Thanks again!
