Coil wire pulled out ???

[Evilrude]

My cowling pulled my upper right coil wire out of the coil. I jammed it back in and the motor runs fine . My question is would I be ok to hot glue it back into place or buy a new one? And if one coil is out will it kill both on that side?

If you got it back in properly you shouldn't have to do anything. One coil will not kill both cylinders.

Inside the coil is a pointed prong that has a sort of thread to it... more of a sprial pointed prong really. The wire simply screws down on that prong. A little WD40 helps the procedure.

In agreement with Boobie... one bad coil will not affect any other coil.

It helps to cut off 3/16-1/4" of the coil end of the wire, so you have a little fresh inner meat to screw into.

Well I ended up jamming some aluminum foil in the hole to get a little more surface for better connection. I super glued it in and it seems to be working till I get some new ones.
