Title: Spark plug wire
Post by: dkeshish on April 02, 2017, 00:31:27 AM
Well guys.... I tried changing the spark plugs and I swear I've done this a million times and when pulling the rear  (near the seat) spark plug wire it snapped off... What do I do? Replace? Can I fix? Damn

  Ok dumb question #1. is it broken or did it just pull out? If I am not mistaken the spark plug cap just screws into the wire. If I remember correctly......

so is this something that I just shove back in? It looks like there is a pin on the spark plug boot side that receives the wire...

 Yup I am pretty sure it just twists on. Like you said if you look inside the cover part you should see a needle like part inside it.....

done and done. Problem averted. You know I took the spark plug out and that tip that's on the new spark plug was off... The tip that goes into the boot.so here I am thinking that tip fell into the engine and panicking and I pull the other one out and see it's that same thing. Ratman thanks as always spark plugs changed. Now I am moving onto the engine oil
