I presume this needs to be replaced?

Went to remove my condensers and found this wire which looks like it has broken off , I think.
Should this be connected to the green wire?
Not sure if you guys can zoom into the pic.
Thanks]

I have no experience working on the Kohler point systems. I have worked on the Denso and Kokusan point systems on the Kioritz engines. A wire that is loose or disconnected or broken would certainly be a red flag. If you were lacking spark on that side, that sure might be the reason why.

It's hard to see but the wires that I see are loose get soldered to the condenser. You can see the same connections on the other condenser there.
