My CTC7 had the same problem, it had a hole burned through the rubber insulation where it arced to the metal cage, luckily I found it before it was fired up.

I was able to remove the covering, clean the burnt area and recoat it with some low acid RTV and it works fine. As long as it hasn't burned through the wires it should work on yours.
A dab of High Dielectric Epoxy paint on the area before coating it might not hurt either, I didn't do that but mine wasn't burned much at all other than the cover.
