Guys, since you’re on the subject of spark plug wires, I’ve bought two used bikes in my life that had new spark plug wires. Both of them required the little screw-on caps on the top of the spark plug, unlike the original wires on the bikes. Why is this? Do those caps have a purpose other than to make the new wire boot hold on?
After looking at Kyle’s tutorial, I did a search on “resistor caps.” There are a lot of different types of resistor caps. How would I go about selecting the correct ones for a bike if I were to rebuy? Is it just a matter of straight vs. L-shaped? Are there levels of resistance? The bike I’m writing about is a Pacific Coast, if it matters. I bought it as a parts bike, but I’ve wondered if I could get it to run. One of the spark plug wires just slops on and off because it’s missing a screw-on cap on the plug. New NGK plugs for our bikes, however, don’t include them. Dumb question, but should I just go to an auto parts store and ask for a little spark plug screw-on cap so that the resistor cap stays stuck on the plug? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
