any hypo shop that has bulk wire since you only need a foot and will need to cut that. 7mm good core and good silicone boot will make all the difference in the world. i got mine from napa and also a race car place that i cannot remember the name of for the life of me.

One of the weak links on these bicycle motor kits is the plug/wire/cap.

Do it now.

Anybody ever upgrade their coil?

You mean the CDI? I'm not sure if there is a direct upgrade....experts? Norman?

I've been looking at MSD and Dyna. MSD is what we use on our race car's and they have many upgrades for small engine and motorcycles. Dyna is mostly for motorcycles. But I have not found anything that would seem to work. Maybe somebody with more knowledge will have better luck then me.
Do any of you guy's remember the Answer Roost Boost? It's basically a amp for your ignition. I'm sure I could get one to work but they stopped making them 10 years ago. I've looked for one like crazy but have not found one.
Dyna has one, but it is for 4cyclinder motorcycle.

How do you guys attach the new spark plug wire to the CDI?
And is there a part number for a better spark plug?

The plug wire just screws out and the new one screws in. There's a little threaded peice in the cdi....................

As Ilikea says, there is a screw (sheet metal threads) inside the CDI plug wire hole...just unscrew the old one, screw the new one in. You may need to make a starter hole in the new wire center conductor with a tiny screw or awl or something. Also use some silicone grease or lube on the OD of the new wire. This will help it go in and seal it. (don't use any regular petroleum grease)
