inspecting my coils and leads I found a cracked ngk spark cap, so have replaced this, I have noticed the ht cables have a external covering of some form, and these are shorter than the internal cables. I am presuming these covers provide strength and extra weather sealant? if so what are they/where do I find these, any help gratefully received

hello folks, been following nurse Julies suggestion about testing the harness and found a few problems wiring wise, the wires to the clutch switch were hanging on by about 6-7 copper strands so new one ordered from dss, and a few bullet connectors mangled and need replacing, I would be grateful for any thoughts on the following -
bullet connectors or spade?
stripping the wire ends, twisting the copper threads and solder coated before fitting connectors for better contact?

oddjob thanks for the info,duly noted.when cleaning the crud off I dismantled them from their mounts,cleaned and returned in the same places.on my loom I have two angled and two straight ngk caps, I presume angled are 1+4, straight 2+3?

rob 62 - I have read on a different thread about reversing the coils, but it was to help stop the ht leads frying on the exhaust manifold

a big thank you to all that replied, all ideas duly noted and gratefully received. nurse Julie- the nearest to a dishwasher I have is a teenage daughter who thinks that even washing plates and cutlery is a form of medieval torture

well faced up to the moment I dreaded, and delved into the old water/oil stained boxes labelled wiring today, when I bought the bike years ago the wiring loom was not in situ just dumped in afore mentioned boxes. I opened these boxes, saw a jumble of wires and closed the boxes. After an afternoon of untangling/cleaning 40 yrs of grease and related crud off I ended up with what can be seen in the pics. luckily the loom looks ok and has not been hacked into. just a case of replacing amounts of black pvc tape. Before I start this task are there any pitfalls that I should be aware of?(wirings not my best subject ,probably no 11 on a scale of one to ten)

rob62, when I bought it I set out a plan to do a rolling chassis and cosmetics, wiring(never been good at that so its time to learn the dark art of electikerty),then the engine. Luckily I've learnt a bit on engines over the years working on triumphs, and my brother has had both brits and japs so that's a good start, and my daughters just finished level 3 mechanics at college so we should have it covered but thanks for the offer
