Copper core 7mm. Actual wire strands inside/not auto plug wire

most motorbike, chainsaws snowmobile shops have it and can sell you a few feet (4) around $2 a foot . had indicated it must be metallic strand core .

automotive stuff is resistive and used to prevent RF noise in the A.M band but biker, snowmobiler etc... don't care

autoparts stores probably have some.

this is what I use but it was $35 a year or two ago !!!! now $78 ???? comes with boots

I used auto wires (resistive type) once way back when, before I knew better. Ran great for about 10 minutes. These magnetos require metal strand plug wires.

A mower shop will have it on a roll.

so will NAPA, Ace Hardware, any outboard dealer, any small engine dealer.

Not hard to find the correct wire at all.-----And you need to put the new wire into the coil before the coil is set in place.----And the coils must be set it the correct place for proper clearance with magnets.

Found some copper core wire at a dealership only markings stamped on it say Nakaya . Anyone know who made this stuff or if it any good?

If it is 7mm , it will work fine.

align coils on bases otherwise they will rub on the flywheel. your fingernail should not snag going up or down the face of the base and coil if aligned properly !!!

also critical is to tuck in the coil primary wires to the points away from the rotating cam
