Gjanes Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I have recently bought a 1997 RXS 100. It was running fine when I got it and then it started having trouble with the engine, which I think is to do with flooding or perhaps a clogged spark plug (one of neighbours who has a bike told me this) he said he'd come round and help me take out the spark plug to clean it and so yesterday I looked in my toolkit to see if I had a spanner which would fit the spark plug and in the process attempted to remove the black cap on the spark plug (I don't know what this is called but I assume it is called the spark plug cap?) which attaches to the ignition coil. not knowing how to do this I simply pulled it off and I think I have damaged the thread in the cap as well as the end of the wire from the ignition coil looking a little damaged because it came out when I twisted the cap back on the plug. Does anybody know what cap fits to a BR8HS spark plug, will any cap fit or will I need to buy a whole new ignition coil? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webi Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 the cap you pulled off mate is called a ht lead it just pushed back onto the top of the spark plug and all is fine find a deep socket or a proper spark plug socket and screw it out from the cylinder then check the gap if you have a manual and clean it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd damaged it! it's all running okay now actually it was just a little flooded but a couple of days of rest seemed to get it back to normal =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
