i just broke the high voltage cap that my spark plug tip gos into, it was made of plastic. does anyone know how i can easly and cheaply put a new one on without replacing the whole unit ? I have a 66cc 2 stroke china setup.
 
yes, if you are talking about the spark plug boot.
the spark plug wire unscrews from the cdi box. just twist the wire to the left like you are unscrewing a screw and it will come off.
then, get yourself a peice of automotive, motorcycle or lawnmower spark plug wire with a rubber boot on the end, and just screw it back into the cdi box. automotive spark plug wire works best because it is a much better quality wire inside.
the spark plug wires and boots that come with these engine kits are not very good to begin with, so replacing it with a better quality one is easy to do and fiarly cheap.
 
mine broke the other day on the way to work:mad: and i happened to be carrying a pair of pliers and pinched one off a lawn mower that was in a road side rubbish heap and it works fine.:D

That there is some quality Luck!
Have you played the lottery?

:) :)


if you replace with auto/lawnmower wire you will need the nipple that screws onto the Spark Plug, The threaded connector will not Hold in these style plugs

Easy solution....... When you buy your new sparkplug dont remove the nipple :)

If in a real pinch just Twist the wire onto the threaded post thats on the spark plug, This should get you home :)

Best of luck!
 
The stock porcelain boots are chinsey, they're definitely in need of upgrading.

I've done that one before, just unscrewing the boot and screwing it onto the sparkplug. If you keep zipties on your bike, you can ziptie it there to be sure it doesn't get bumped off.
 
If you really need a sparkplug wire, and cant afford one, I will send one to you i just changed the wires on my V8 so i have 18 usable ends :)

Eta Blue48 why in the world didnt you grab that mower!!! that there is a good engine!

Most engines are tossed out because their owner didnt take care of them and the carb gets gunked up..... We Mbrs know our way around a carb

you got that right, Mine Says "Great Master" and some numbers that mean nothing! Took it into ACE and they were amazed and for sure stumped

the stock boots are not porcelain...they are plastic.
