I bought a kit, one much like a BGF and my Son and I put it together. Upon installing the CDI and connecting the spark plug wire to the plug, I didn't like the fit. Against my better judgment (and my Son's impatience to ride) I didn't change anything, that was until my Son gives me a call 10 miles down the road and tells me he has problems. When he mentions the word "plug" I KNOW without another word what the issue is. The boot and terminal won't stay on and make a good connection. Told him to find something like a piece of wire or aluminum foil to use as a wedge. As a last resort take a piece of cord and tie the boot securely to the plug. When he got home we pulled the boot to inspect, and cut it as close as I could to the end. My neighbor has a lawn mower that threw a rod, so I went to his mower and cut off the boot. I used both the coil and boot on the bike engine, A little WD-40 works wonders in sliding the boot onto the CDI wire
