Today I discovered there was no spark to the cylinders. When I pulled the "cap" off the coil I discovered the wire had broken apart right where it comes out of the cable at the cap. Is there a way to repair this? Or do I need a new ignition, cable, and coil cap? It looks like these are all a one piece unit. And where can I find one of these?

I went ahead and soldered a new wire where the old one broke but evidently there is/was insulation between it and the sheathing that I cannot see. When I tried to start it it shorted at that point and smoked pretty good. So I guess I will wait till someone with more experience than I can suggest what I need to do.

Tiny,

First of all thanks for the reply. My email is youngfalcon@earthlink.net. Any help will be appreciated. And I will go add my email in my profile. I thought it was there.

Well, thanks to Tiny and Skip the '34 electrolock is back in service with a new 12 gauge wire. I had no idea that this could be repaired. It was a bit of a pain but with the excellent directions from these two Guys the job is done.

Now I don't have one right now but.... I have been keeping my eyes open for a pre-war coupe to restore. If I had the same problem I'd probably never be able to find this post again, search never has worked well for me.
So if this wasn't a 10 page dis·ser·ta·tion I'd like to hear what your combined cures are. Maybe you could post it to the group???? Always looking for new ideas for the reference file.
Thanks
DG

Thanks Richard, I just got in from shoveling snow for a couple of hours so I'm just now getting to my emails.
