Scott,
Do not re-insulate, remove and replace the wiring with Teflon insulated wire.
 I think I used 20ga on mine.  Do yourself a favor and take the trouble to
scrounge up a few feet of the Teflon insulated wire; miles from now it will
prove worth the effort.  Also, make certain the wire is not pinched between
the engine tin and the head.
