Over or Under
I never really paid much attention when putting a new coil on, But somebody pointed out My coil wire and stated that I should always wrap the wire over the shaft, He said the coil works better. Is there a difference and Why??

GG, as long as it is tight and not flopping around I think it should make no difference..Just like Bill said...Buster...

Makes no difference,but I like to position the wire so that it isent bent to were it's adding stress withch could cause it to break.

Coil Wire
All of the Mfg's. suggest Over with the first turn, Wear protection and gives the coil more room to be adjusted when detecting.

I agree with all the comments given but I still do it a little different, old school maybe but I still do it. I run the cable straight up the back of the shaft for about two feet, secure with black plastic zip strips or Velcro strips, than wrap tightly with the first wrap over.
Shielded or not I still feel better about it when keeping most of the cable out of the coils reach. Hay what's up with the underline? I can't make it go away either?

This is what I have read. That is what was advised in the M6 dvd too.

I read something by Whites that it is recommended to overlap the initial coil wire winding as to better align the threaded coil plug at the control box so there is less stress on the plug wires. I agree with keeping the coil wire snug to the lower shaft with enough slack for some coil movement. Whatever works.
