Its a easy job to pull the coil out of its housing and rewind it. You count the number of turns and rewind the bobbin with the same gauge insulated copper wire . I've pulled a few apart and some of them used a cotton covering over the wire, others used the plain enamelled copper .

I've rebuilt a few but dont recommend the repo india rubbish. grab a brand new genuine Weber 34 ICH and with a bit of re-jetting it will never go wrong.

i'm in Jimboomba if you are ever up this way?

cheers,
