Explorer coil repair ?

[shootist]

Ive got some trouble with my 8" coil for my explorer. I bought the unit about 2 and half years ago and have never had a problem. I noticed a few months after I bought it that there was some very light cracking on the bottom of my 8 inch coil,it was the first time I had taken the coil cover off. It worked fine none the less with constant use for over 2 years. Then one day a couple of months ago it started constantly signaling whenever I move it. The unit works fine with the stock coil so I know its the coil also sometimes I can hold the wire where it enters the coil and it will keep a steady threshold for a bit. Ive never had to deal with ML service and Im wondering if I should send to them? would I have a good chance they could fix it or should I just look for a new one? I dont think the problem is caused by the cracking rather the wire is loose inside the coil. Also I never sent in the warranty info card so Im not really sure how to proceed with the ML people,thanks alot for any help...Shoot

You will probably be better off buying a new one,usually the coil wires cannot be repaired and replaced. Look into buying a Coiltek Platypus coil. They are much better coil than the standard coil giving much clearer signals and depth and a better shape. Six of my friends and myself have Explorers and we have bought these coils and have never regretted buying them. good luck seeya Neilo
