So I fish

...or fix. if it's molded into the coil it can be successfully spliced. Find a donor end, slide shrink tubing over, solder wire together, apply silicone sealant to bare wire, slide heat shrink over and shrink on. Not the best case scenario, but will get you going again.

Might be time to try a 272

Best answer.

I believe the light is a tuning aid.
Start with the high rich and lean it till the light just comes on.
