spark plug wire cut in half?

Hi,
I have a 2000 model 3.5hp briggs and stratton engine with a severed spark plug wire. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

The only 'proper' way to fix this is ti replace the ignition coil - the wire is not replaceable seperately.

You CAN repair the wire in the same way as you would any other wire - with an electrical 'chocolate block' type of connector. Insulate it PROPERLY - there is 15,000 volts going through it!
