Hi Again:

My Lawnboy 5239 stopped a year to the day after I put a new coil in it! The ground wire that connects to under the coil broke off nearly flush with the coil! This is a very small wire that does not take vibration well!

Any ideas as to how I may make this wire a bit more robust?

I thought about encasing it in RTV rubber or instant gasket maker stuff to prevent it from vibrating. Or perhaps a piece of heat shrinkable tubing over the orginal wire for more vibration resistance.

Any thoughts about this problem?

Tia,

Franchi

Heat shrink and rtv sound good to me, make sure rtv is high temp.
