This was my 1st rebuildable and with some help i got it going and my 1st coil was spot on with 0 hot spots. It came out at 1.3 and knew after a little use it would climb higher to maybe 1.5.
I found that it had got to 2.5 and was sure that could not be right. So had a look and found the centre post part was coming loose and i had to keep tightening it up. No mater what i do it will not stay tight and hold the wire well. Is there a fix for this

The knurled nuts are chamfered on one end..Stack the nuts so that the flats come in contact where you trap the wire. Wrap the wire around the post and tighten the top nut while holding the nut in the middle.

Yer i did that and it still comes loose after a few hours. I have took at apart again then made sure its all on the right way and the bottom nut is as far down as it can go and the other two are flush where the wire will be wrapped. Will see if it does it again and report back

if you coiled it more than once check theres not part of the old wire still there to

I always give em a good clean out before a new coil. I have found if a wrap the coil clockwise around that part then it does not come lose. So am now happy with it again
