Mower no-start (rodents ate plug wire)

[nascarnation]

Old mower in storage but had been stored dry carb and tank. Filled it up, no start.
Checked spark, nada.
Plug wire seriously chomped on. Infinite ohms.
Went deluxe and got new $10 magneto on Amazon.
Started right up.

Are spark plug wires tasty for critters? we all know soy based wires are, but I wouldn't have thought SP wires.

Rodents are like roaches, everything's on the menu to eat or build their nest.

They will eat anything including fiberglass insulation.
