leaking spark plug wires
so I know for a fact that I've got leaky spark plug wires. ive felt it in my fingers on a few of my wires but I'm not sure if its all of them. I'd like to avoid buying new wires because I dont think I can get just new wires I would have to get new coils too. right?

Give them a good clean along with the plugs and caps.Could be a bit of extra resistance from a duff/dirty cap or worn plugs.If the centre electrode has rounded off the earth electrode can be bent up far enough to file the centr electrode back to square then reset the gap.Use a bit of wd40 or similar and a clean rag to wipe leads clean then start it up in the dark, if it looks like a mini lightening storm the will need replacing provided caps and plugs have been eliminated as the fault

you do not have to get new coils, ive replaced the wires before, you can get them from z1enterprises.com, you cut them in half, cut the hard epoxy off from the coil (dont cut the wire) have a friend hold the coil, and you pull on the wire, you may have some left overs to pull out, ive used a wood screw (just dont go to far so you dont dig in to the coil). clean any residue and degrease the wire and coil, coat the wire with a thin coat of black silicone (someone may suggest something else as adhesive) and push the wire back in the coil, double check that it is fully pushed in!!!!!!!!!!!! (i marked my for this step)
let it sit, and you got new wires in the coils
p.s. i think im gonna do a write up on this as i dont think this is on Bikecliffs website
