If so, did you repair it, or buy a new whip hose? When you make repairs like this, we have found that you need to polish the copper trace and clean the wire otherwise you will have problems like you describe. Last time I repaired a hose, I cleaned it as new, crimped and soldered it. Hope this helps, George
