I have the following XML:

The output of this is:
Spring Wound "Bypass" Timers

But what I need is:
Spring Wound &quot;Bypass&quot; Timers
...
Is there anyway I can get the output here to have the entity encoded quote (&quot;) instead of just a plain quote (")?

No ... XSLT 1.0 does not provide any stylesheet control over the lexical choice of the representation of characters in the output. The processor is allowed to choose any well-formed way to serialize the information in the result tree.
