another question from the villiage idiot

How about I go to the damaged section of the wire and cut it out. Then put a pin in the cut area a quarter inch up each wire then tape the pure **** out it. Would that work.

Try to get a couple pins stuck in there, three would be even better, but yeah, that's a good idea.

If it don't fire when I try it today, I'm gonna go with the pins. What the hay the wire is probably ruined anyway if it wont start. I got nothing to lose and I might save a trip to the auto parts store not to mention not having to take the motor off again. None of the cable fit the same when I put it back.

I got very very lucky. I put a lot of electrical tape over the cut area and it did the trick. I have spark and the engine fired right up just like it was supposed to. I had to adjust the pickup in relation to the flywheel. I had to take the motor off yet again. At least I really do know how to break that bike down in a hurry.

Now I am building a drive wheel for the engine that I hope will be in a better balance.
