does anybody know how to replace the ignition wire on a 37" master deluxe? the insulation is frayed inside the metal tubing causing the engine to stall. I have taken the ignition apart but really can't figure out how to get the wires out of the back of the switch (afraid to brake something.)anybody got any ideas let me know.

THANKS
BUDZO

BUDZO I bet old JunkYardDogJunkYardDog, aka Skip Geear, knows! You might even consider shipping it out to IGGLE PINT, Are-we-gone for complete restoration.

I did mine, You have to very carfully bend the tabs out on back of switch and take it apart that way. You can't get at the wire be removing the cylinder it's the only way. Was pretty easy bend just enough to get it apart. Also do a search there is a thread or two on this subject.

GOOD LUCK ;\)

HEY MRMACK & TIMS37,
Thanks for the input. I think I'll go out and crawl up under that dash and pull the ignition again to see if I can fix it without breaking it.

THANKS AGAIN
BUDZO \:D
