"Bought 4 coild kits today for my motor. I need help. How does the wire, boot, and spring all connect? Does the spring end up going into the boot with the wire? I am very confused. Any pitures anywhere I can see of the spring in the wire assembly?"

"here is an old trick-----
strip bac 1/4" insulation,bend wire over...install the probe into insulation where the spring end,ends up touching,and firm against the end of wire,spray w/wd40,..install boot!.this gives 2,chances of good contact."

"Alright I give up. I still can't figure this out and none of the boat places around here wil put them together either, even though I offered to pay whatever. Anywhere I can buy wires already assembled? Was looking foward to taking the boat out this wekend and now I am stuck."

"The rubber boot, spark plug end.... With the wire being the length required, trim back 1/4" insulation again but do not solder tint the wires. Simply fan out the wires and fold them back against the insulation, cutting the excess of so that the wire ends do not extend past the circumference of the wires insulation, meaning..... holding the wire dead on, those wires form a circle. Holding the spring wire terminal, estimate where the prong should be inserted so that the spring will be flush against the exposed wire. Hold the spring terminal away from the wires end (sideways) and insert the prong into the insulation and into the center wire, then swing the spring terminal in front of the exposed wire portion (makes a tight fit for continuity purposes).

Spraying the inner portion of the boot where the wire will insert with a small amount of WD40 makes the installation of the wire a easy project.
