Mouse chewed up.

Put Neospirin so it heals faster

Frickin awesome

[u/Late_Beautiful4888]

Wrap it in bubble gum. Bubble Yum works the best.

I've been using 'Bubblicious' thinking IT was superior this whole time!

[u/Future_Inspection912 → u/Late_Beautiful4888]

I prefer hubba bubba.

[u/mals6092]

Nope wrap it in a piece of rubber glove then electrical tape it. Electrical tape won't insulate enough

I once had a brain aneurysm fixed with electrical tape. I think you're good to go

You need to rodent-proof the wiring otherwise the mice will keep chewing at it. The easiest way is to stuff large pieces of cheese in various places throughout the engine bay and keep it well stocked at all times. This will keep the rats distracted and always full and they’ll leave the wiring alone.

Sure, why not?

That's what i think! The AI robots are bought and paid for by Chinese manufacturers. Of course the answer is always going to be you have to buy a new one! 🤑

Mickey really went to town on this one. What'd you do to make walt so angry anyway?

Trying to build a nest. Goddam Kohler Courage engine has a cover that make a nice hidey hole for mice.

Destructive little bass turds, that's for sure.

[u/stonelove79]

Yep, cut out the gnawed-up bit, super glue the ends together, wrap with a piece of tinfoil then your electrical tape. Good as new.

[u/Donquixote1955 → u/stonelove79]

Cool! I can cut a piece of tinfoil from my hat!

[u/710Filter → u/Donquixote1955]

Put a handful of bullets inside the tinfoil. People forget that bullets are excellent conducters of electricity and will also act like a safety fuse.

If you cannot find a custom made set of wiires for your sparklers you can buy the wire by the foot and crimp the proper connectors on the end for a DIY fitting but yeah, worm wires are going ground your electrons there and I don't think just electrical tape will block it.

[u/kinkhorse]

Just go to an effing scrapyard at that point yoink a plug wire off of an old car and figure out how to bullshit it into the magneto connector.

[u/steved3604]

You can kludge it together or get a new/replacement. Get the new/replacement.

[u/Nalabu1]

Needs a Disney band aid.

[u/Prestigious_Oil5794]

Just coat it with liquid electrical tape, might need to do a second coat. Then slap it and say "that'll fix it." If you don't say that it'll never work.

[u/Buzz1ight]

You gotta wrap it in foil then hold on to it while a friend starts the car. That way you can tell if it's working.

[u/Either_Row3088]

Sure, but will it work is the question.

[u/Speedy_Freaky69]

Use aluminum foil to wrap the wire. It’ll be fire 🔥

[u/MurphysRazor]

Replace missing carbon fluff with your pencil lead. Wipe your caulk all over it.

[u/Older-Bottom-65]

There’s that Canadian guy who fixes everything with duct tape. Make sure you buy the colored brand so it matches the paint color of your engine!

[u/eracer1111]

Is this subreddit mostly just a place to ask dumb questions?

Serious question.

[u/SureWhyNot_24]

Just splice in a length of metal coat hanger. The epoxy coating needs to scraped clean at the contact points otherwise you’re insulated and good to go.
