Gasket and Plug Wire Question

Go to an industrial gasket shop they have all kinds of gasket material.

you gotta watch using used plug wires! they may look good on the outside but you cant see on the inside! it may run well at first then you may run into problems later! trust me on this , been there done that!!!!

just splurge the 7-8 bucks for a new 7mm wire @ your local auto parts store and be done with it! also you should be able to find gasket material there also. I bought some Mr. Gasket exhaust manifold gasket set for a car motor and got enough material to make several gaskets.

I just use a piece of coax cable I had laying around. screws into the CDI just fine, and is solid copper. I pulled the boot and connector off an automotive wire, and soldered the connector to the coax and slipped the boot on. Works wonders. Might cause some issues with electronic speedos though.

As for the gasket material... You should be able to find some at Advance Auto, Autozone, Checker, etc. I got mine at either Checker or Advance, I don't remember. I just got the regular stuff, but they did have more expensive heavy duty stuff. The plain gasket paper (almost like a cereal box cardboard) works fine if you seal it on both sides with high temp orange RTV. (not worth a crap if you do it without RTV though - it will blow in a day)

Our new wire and boot may not be the cheapest option. BUT it meets the criteria as both a GREAT conductor AND a GREAT EMI controller - and a GREAT insulator. Plus it will last a LONG time.

Exactly why we choose Magnecor.

I agree with you on that fully, the one I used on the motor in the pic came off my wife's Chevrolet, carbon core/silicon boot...If you use a "recycled" plug wire you need to inspect the wire and boot for dry rotting and cracks...My biggest pet peeve with these Chinese kits is the plug wire, copper core with about three hair thin wires, and the plug cap made of hard plastic is ridiculous...Copper core wires conduct great but they will mess up the operation of an electronic speedo, if you have one carbon core is the way to go...Scott

Pablo, I have been eyeballing the air filter you guys sell, is it compatible with the GT-5...The air filter is a little different from older Happy times (the carb has been slightly redesigned)

Does your carb have threaded screw holes for the filter holder?
