The copper insulation gone some places and the amp was pulling plenty current. Once inductor removed everything was normal.
Attaching the core picture. I dont have insulated wire here. What gauge wire? Can I use another inductor from broken amp instead?

That looks like it's a sendust core. That's unexpected. Most seem to use the cheapest cores possible.
You can re-use wire but if it has a binder on it, it's going to be a mess. You can order the wire. Bear in mind that there are different types of insulation. Most people use solder strippable because it's easier. I prefer to use high-temp insulation (rated for 200C). The insulation has to be scraped off but it's typically more durable.
Measure it with a dial caliper. It's available in 1/2g sizes so you need to get an accurate measurement.
