Default I just hate new parts failures

Don't you just hate it when you preemptively replace a part so as to avoid a failure only to have the new part fail within 20 minutes?

Fired up the new engine and took it around the block. Re-torqued head and went to fire it up. Crank but no start.

Problem found - Armored ignition cable - internal wire a wee bit frayed so I replaced the entire assembly with a new reproduction. The new part will not play nice 100% of the time with the popout switch.

Finished disassembling and rebuilding the original last night with fine-wire, woven cloth over teflon covered wire.
