Stihl MS260 HT lead and boot

[APC]

Yo,

 

Knackered the boot to fit the HT lead to the sparkplug. The spring/coil inside contorted when I pulled the plug out. Went to get a replacement thinking it's all one unit but turns out it's not. The lead had a few scuffs anyways so am replacing this piece too. Question is, when it comes to fitting it together, does the boot just push onto the HT lead, and then the HT lead into whatever that fits into (armature??). Is it a simple process or should I get ready to smack me head against a wall?

 

Cheers

When mine broke, i was only able to get the lead complete, so all i had to do plug it into the coil and spark plug. I would say that the boot should go over the HT lead as it is rubber and will stretch, and then it just plugs into the coil.

But then again maybe not ! Keep fidderling with it and you will work it out.

Not sure about the coil end - some screw in, some push in, some are potted or glued.

 

The cap end - the cap comes in two parts, a rubber cap and a metal connector. The metal connector has two sharpened ends facing each other but stepped. These push in to the lead firmly, you then put a little oil, grease or similar on the metal end and on the cap then push it in to the cap where the HT lead comes out of and ensure it locates in to the cap correctly.

 

Hope this helps - it is relatively simple.

Nice one guys! Thank you for the quick responses!!! I've got the parts on order, we'll see what turns up, then I'll have a play. I'm sure it's simple. Unfortunately simple things confuse me!
