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

[Motoschwinn]

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...?
