Europa-List: Broken Mag wire

Hi Guys,
I just was about to go flying this morning to test a few changes I've 
made as my bird has not been cooling in this heat well. As I did the 
run-up the right mag didn't drop any RPM's but the right did as it 
should. My temps started climbing again so I went right back to the 
hanger. The engine didn't want to shut down so I had to starve it of 
fuel.  I pulled off the cowl right away and as I examined the mag 
connections one of the wires just snapped off only about an inch from 
the mag's side of the connection. The wire was very brittle and I'm 
kind of surprised it's not of better quality. Has this happened to 
anyone else and has anyone been able to fix it without ordering a new 
mag itself?
