Spark plug wire/cap question

[extra300s]

Hi guys

I need some advise on the following. After a flip this weekend I landed ad noticed the rpm is about 300 revs lower than usual. When I pushed the trike in I noticed that the rear plug cap has jumped off. It was just lying on the black metal cover! Other symptoms I had is halfway back from Goedverwacht I had a slight radio noise in my ears. Trike still performed without missing a beat.

Plug cap type is NGK Lb10f which has a 10k resistor built into it. My Question is how do I go about changing it out. Can I just replace the plug cap or do I have to buy the whole wire?

Thanks
Karl

Spark plug cap just screws onto the wire with a copper/brass threaded pin. You can unscrew it by holding the wire tightly and turning the cap anti-clockwise. Just buy a new one and turn it onto the wire (trim 10mm from edge of wire so you thread it into a new section of wire - better contact). I've also seen guys apply die-electric grease onto the threaded pin to provide better contact before fitting the new cap. The BR8ES spark plugs already have a resistor in - You can use normal spark plug caps

Baie dankie Miskiet!!! Nog nooit so bly om van die insek te hoor nie... Gedink ek gaan baie meer sukkel en duureder betaal. Klaar die caps gesource by Midas.

Then next, install a set of bungies to hold them in place

Hi Morph. Might just consider it now. Just the few trikes I have seen with them on looks really crap. Very untidy. Will see what I can do. Thanks

New cap NGK with resistor as origional R15 at Midas. Bought two. Will keep one in trike as spare. Thanks guys

Better to look crap than crap yourself with a spluttering engine Karl
