I did end up taking the shell off and pulling the wire out from the top so I could strip and tin it. I was also able to get a lot more slack so no need to add more wire. I then re-threaded the wire through the bottom and waited for my son to come home with his soldering station (and the extra pair of hands). We were able to get it soldered but it's not a good job. The space was tight and we started to melt one of the other wires. My son is going to bring a smaller soldering iron from school next week so we can make a proper connection. In the meantime I was able to run the engine and it worked fine. Thanks for all of the advice.
