Color of the spark?

[Dreggsta]

this is what they said: "Send us a picture of the wires (especially a close up of both ends) and the lengths. Our technical team can look to see if we can reproduce them as HotWires."

You guys are talking about replacing the spark plug wires with msd? How can you do this when the stock coil with the spark plug wire is built as one piece?

 

[vpalace]

You can change the wire on the coil,

Some have done it. Hopefully someone will chime in and explain how to do this.

Its a pretty straight forward process. once you remove the coil from the motor, they claim you just "untwist" the coil wire out of the coil... not really the case for me. in the bottom of the hole that the coil wire is in, there is a screw comming through that yes.. you screw the wire down into to make contact but for me at least it was glued in. I twisted and twisted until the wire finally broke off. I had to use tweezers and an xacto knife to get all the insulation out of the hole enough so that i could twist the new wire into the hole. My MSD wire came with a peice of heatshrink that had glue inside, so when you shrink it down it seals itself to the wire and the connector. It can be a pain to get out but well worth it in the end.

Well, right now I have a new RRXB with a dead ignition coil. A ****ing new toy with a dead heart! This fukken SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, just venting a little...

 

[Dreggsta]

no problem! vent! that's part of what forums are for. then after you vent, you fix it & help others w/the same problem.

hey boost, you said the wire is exposed where it screws into the coil? so obviously the plug wire has a boot on one end for the plug but the other end where it connects to the coil is just raw? does it like like the ends in the pic in this link? http://www.tgndistributing.com/hp-plug-wire.html

i like the heat shrink trick.

Sounds like more of a pain.

Your welcome. Switching the wire is really easy but I did just buy a new zen coil to put the msd wire on. The stock redcat wire was glued in and came out hard but it will be worth it

 

[Dreggsta]

i might need a pic of the coil post too. lol does it give any info on the zen coil? mota?

hey v, it's a one & done kinda deal. anything to add powa right? i noticed a crisper response on my 800lb single thumper atv w/the capacitated wire. not to mention better mpg's. it wasn't mind blowing but i could tell. it'd be interesting to see if it'd any more noticeable on these much lighter singles. why not?

Do you have a link to the coil and wire you are using?

 

[Motakitty]

I can take a pic of the msd wire installed but it has the heat shrink on it too
