New plug and wire am I OK? Kings 70cc 3100miles.

Motoschwinn · Jul 19, 2008

Ok, my old wire and boot were looking pretty bad. They are on their 4th year. I got a accel universal 8mm HiTemp Super Stock plug wire with boot and a new NGK B6HS plug... Fired right off, (MUCH quicker than normal) and I just did a quick run. anyone know of any foreseeable problems with this combo? Will it affect the CDI?

Thanks!

You should be just fine

I tried an 8mm and could not make it fit the coil so just pulled an old 7 off the shelf and it fit's.

You could trim just enough of the insulator off so it fit's inside the CDI

That is what I did. I just trimmed it down, and on top of that I exposed about 1/2" of the core just to make sure there was good contact. Maybe in a month or so, I'll seal it up with silicone to make it water tight.

Thanks Guys, I had not even thought of trimming it down i was afraid of voltage leaks.

did you find that wire sold by itself or did you have to buy a set? is it a copper core wire?

It was a universal replacement deal. Came with a few different boots, connectors and lube. Plus about 6' of 8mm wire. No it wasn't a copper core. The kit ran me $9.00. Bike seems to fire up much quicker with the new wire, and spark plug boot along with the new NGK plug. (^)

Copper core is not needed as you know.

I've always been a little worried about using that fiber core wire, that it might get a little messed up trying to screw it into the boot & CDI...?

Well I left 1/2" exposed and screwed it in... Seems ok. It 'feels' like I've gained a few more mph, but I can't say really as its a new bike... It DOES fire up much quicker.

If i was to get the NGK B6HS plug whould i need to set the gap of the plug? also will i be fine with the stock one for a while?

Bikeguy Joe · Jul 24, 2008

Yes, and yes. .020"

Rnalecz · Jul 24, 2008

where can i set it to .020, does the B6HS come set at .020 or do i have to buy a tool to set it?

Get a spark plug gapper when you buy the plug... Something you should put in your Chinese Motor tool kit IMHO.

Bikeguy Joe · Jul 24, 2008

They are a dollar at the auto parts store. Yes, you will have to gap it, they come at about .035"

will this plug and wire work with my ch80 engine?
thanks

Neko · Jul 31, 2008

What is the easiest way to get into the cdi to replace the wire and cap. I look and the only way I am seeing is to break it and it looks so pretty not broken. thanks for all your help

FileStyle · Jul 31, 2008

twist the wire from the cdi like turning out a screw , opposite to install!

Neko · Jul 31, 2008

thanks I would have never tried that. Just make sure that when I am putting the new one in that there is the same amount showing to screw in as the one I took out right?
