Replacing the plug connector

Hold the plug connector spring using pointed
pliers and push the rubber cap backwards
over the ignition cable.
NOTE: Lightly grease the ignition cable for
easier assembly and disassembly of the spark
plug cap.
Check the rubber cap and ignition cable for
damage, and replace if necessary. The spring
must not be bent. During assembly, push the
hook of the spring into the middle of the cable
from above.
Pull the rubber cap over the spring. Check for
proper seating of the spring in the cap.
Incorrect positioning of the spring can cause
weak ignition sparking or complete non-
functioning.
