Can I replace just one plug wire on a 750 K3?
« on: June 28, 2007, 08:49:17 PM »
I've got one w/electrical tape on it thta gave me some trouble in the rain yesterday. I remember someone saying that I'd need to do them all at once, what's the deal?

i'm pretty sure the K3 coils are the same as the K6 coils, and the spark plug wires go straight into the coils, they dont cap onto a stem like most of them do,

serveral good ideas found there

for your particular problem the cheapest fix would be to use the nail trick (use a conductive nail and jab it into both ends making contact with the wires inside) then put some heatshrink tubing on it,    that would take care of your "rain problem" there

or the NKG splicers work well too but they are around $8 or at least i think they were

ngk splicers are the way to go(very easy to install)if you have about 4" of wire from the coil left ;)
