I need an extra 5 inches for my coil wires. Will it damage the coil if I extend it sodering it together and use a Heat Shrink tubing as insulation. Has anyone have done this?
Not sure what you meen by primary and secondary wires.ok are you talking about the primary wires or the seconday wire...the secondary(one that goes to the plug)is made of fiberglass...it has a high resistance but the voltage out of your coil pack is high...remember its gotta also jump a spark gap...the primary wires cannot have resistance to them...i don't care if you solder, buttconnect, or twist them together...as long as you have got good contact then this thing will run
Dude i can see that you dont care but the origional question was about soldering the wires not wraping em in electrical tape.the 2 from the motor are your primary ignition wires...dude just connect them in a waterproof fashion...the secondary ignition circuit is your plug wire and ground...that is how it is, i dont care what gas engine you work on...
If you guys are talking about removing connectors and soldering wire directly that's ridiculous. If you mean solder wires to the stock connectors then maybe. Stock chinese connectors are fine and more than adequate if properly checked out. Out of dozens of engines only a couple required re-crimping and reshaping with needle nose. Never had one fail out of thousands of miles on the road.Yep solder em up
I respect that you have fitted alot more of these motor kits than i eva will but the bike i got second hand those **** connectors had clearly gotten wet and turned green from the copper oxidizing.If you guys are talking about removing connectors and soldering wire directly that's ridiculous.

Hoooo..Kaaayyyy... so you really do that?I respect that you have fitted alot more of these motor kits than i eva will but the bike i got second hand those **** connectors had clearly gotten wet and turned green from the copper oxidizing.
When that motor died i did the same thing to my new 1
soldering the wires eliminates this and will not harm the cdi or the magneto and is alot cleaner finish
Ive said it 5 times others have to what part are you not gettin, so yeh i really do that! so do alot of people here and you still have not given a reason as to why its sooooo baaaad its 2 wires?Hoooo..Kaaayyyy... so you really do that?
If connectors are corroded they should be replaced with new ones. However soldering the entire ignition system together sounds... well... uhhh...
I carry spare CDI and magneto but rarely find a convenient place to plug in soldering iron out in the wilderness.
LOL!!! Yeah... Right... or just plug in a new one.Plug in a soldering iron?? Gas bro!
wilderness??? spare cdi's??? what??? how many problems do you got....i made a weather pack connector for mine...ive done that on everybike ive done...i also put the wires in a loom... are you telling me that you need to change your coil pack often enough that you need to keep them quick release...maybe you should by your packs from a different supplier...and by the way the stock connectors are chinsy...Hoooo..Kaaayyyy... so you really do that?
