Taylor Leads - Wrong Size?

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a GS550, 1979. Just upgraded the coils and thought I would treat myself to some taylor leads.

I have noticed they do not fit as I would expect, they go in but the spark plug 'nibble' is much small then the hole, see picture...! Hard o explain..

Is this normal? I can't see how it can get a decent connection.

Is it possible to by the same size spark plug but larger 'nibble' rather then another £50 on leads !


help ;-) ...again!

If you mean the tip of the plug that the leads attach to perhaps the boots or caps as we call em are made for a different tip.

This type of tip


Vs.

[Sexysuzi]

Yes the wrong tips.

Lots of strange text in your post!

What should I do?

[JEEPRUSTY]

Gosh The second pic is one that has a removable tip thingy
If you had this extra bit you could thread it on, tighten and the caps would likely fit.

[JEEPRUSTY]

I would return the leads if possible and look to a different means of addressing any HT lead issue you have.

There are some gurus lurking about or who will be on later to explain things in detail etc.

I reckon I could just find somewhere that supplys the nibble larger thing ? I have seen these before. Wonder if you can het then online ?

would send bk but suspect after I have cut them will be my fault

[JEEPRUSTY]

Yeah if yah cut them they are yours to keep forever.
You may be able to get the extra bit for the terminal I have no idea.

Buy some new plugs - they come with the caps.

Funny HH the ones I buy for my bike OEM have not got the bit attached.
Think of the economy of scale savings.

That's pretty funny, since both of your posts are hard to understand. The screw caps or nibble as you call it is usually included with the plug. Check your local auto part store they usually sell them. Here is a listing on ebay for them

Is that NGKs? I can't think of a brand of plug here where we don't get the caps in the box.

go to any automotive garage and look for discarded plugs, bring yourself some pliers and screw them off, bring home and screw the cpas on to your plugs....

If you were not so far away and across the pond, I would put a few in an envelope and mail them to you....

Cheers

yep, NGK plugs come with them for your bike. do as above.....buy some new plugs or go to your friendly bike servicing garage and steal some....
