John, I envy you as I have only seen the Flywheeler's show on TV. You and Larry have brought up a good point and it happens to be something I have been scratching my head over. The wire is not broken. On the desk under magnification it is clearly MELTED. I am more than up to the job of soldering it. I have silver solder and a quality iron. My issue is WHERE is the short? This does not read like a dead short. I think it is a case of something touching briefly. When I energize the coil my Eico meter does not read any amperage drain. This coil is insulated from the coil above with a paper disk which is in good condition. There is a second disk UNDER the coil of wire in somewhat lesser condition. It could have shorted there. I am assuming that, since this is a bare wire that there is insulation around the central core also?
Understand me, I am not being cheap here. I just like trying to fix things. I will ultimately buy a new regulator if necessary but not until I have torn thru this one...and learned a lot in the process! :)
