Title: Lost an important spark plug part
Post by: CamaroMan79 on May 05, 2014, 06:47:21 PM
I was putting a new spark plug on my 125 earlier and I needed to take the gold top off of the spark plug.  It is held on there by a small horseshoe clip.......we'll safe to say I lost that lil sob, now I'm stuck.  I can't find it in any parts catalog so I don't know what else to do.

I guess my next step will probably the hardware store but that's 2 towns over and am not sure if they will have a clip that small.


Any ideas?

Buy a new boot.  http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/ngk-plug-cap--lzfh-8381 (http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/ngk-plug-cap--lzfh-8381)
They simply thread on to the HT wire. About 3 bucks.

Isn't that just the boot though.  The piece I was talking about was a brass cylindrical piece that set on top of the spark plug threads where the tip would be.  It's held in place by a horseshoe clip around the brass then that snaps up into the spark plug wire

Those boots have all the internal parts. In the center of the wire end is a pointed screw about 5/16" long. It screws onto, and into the wire. It is actually the same as your OEM boot.
You could also make a Temp. fix by cutting down a hair pin. but those boots, are sold in every bike shop, and most auto parts places

Happened to me last week, same thing.
Went to the local auto parts shop, showed them the boot I needed(here we call it pipe, like in smoking pipe), and got a similar one for like 7$.
