HT lead on MS441

[Gerbutt]

Hello

 

I've got change the HT lead on a MS441. Was just wondering if it's an easy enough job and if there's anything I should look out for?

 

Cheers

Some of these HT leads are bonded in to the coil and if you try to remove them, you run the risk of breaking the small pin that locates in to the lead - I have cut the lead off a coil before and milled out the old HT lead with a dremmel to reveal the pin - a bit of a job but it works.

 

I did MattyFs 372, the flywheel had ripped the lead out and managed to insert a new pin in to th eremains of the HT lead and then insert and bonded in a new 5mm HT lead -you will need 5mm HT lead by the way. Saved him a few bucks!

 

Some HT leads just unscrew from the coil and have a threaded screw where the lead goes in to the coil.

 

Good luck - at least you can get a spare if you cock it up!

Thanks for the info bud. Got the lead done now worries but when he went to put a new plug in it just went in and out the hole without tightening, threads have gone! managed to put the old one back in and get it to nip up but I wouldn't trust it! Could he get the head re-threaded? If so, how much would something like that be?

 

Thanks for your time
