Title: Ignition lead install
Post by: Diesel on July 12, 2021, 10:04:42 AM
Just purchased a #4 cylinder lead to replace as I was experiencing ignition break down at higher revs. Changed the plugs and the lead pulled out of its cap. Funny thing is that the new lead came as a bare wire with the coil dust cover, so I have to strip the wire and re-fit the plug cap connector. Shouldn't be a problem, just expected a complete lead to arrive. $24.50 Inc. postage.

I reckon you wuz robbed!  There has never been a bare wire plug lead except maybe in a Mad Max movie.  We're not talking 12 volts here- a bare wire would evoke a spark lots of places before reaching the plug.    :eek

I did observe the Freudian slip regarding cans and bars.  Surprised red wine didn't get a look in.   :p    :rofl

Some photos would help to fully understand what has happened.
