Check your ENDs
« on: October 26, 2019, 09:07:37 AM »
This I discovered last night checking the electrics, timing etc. Trimming the HT leads and reconnecting, this screwed off with the cable, not much holding it!

Thought there was a wavy washer retainer thing that held it in. Well it's like that on  the 70's style NGK ones I have seen

I had the exact same thing happen on some caps that came with a Boyer Bransden ignition kit. Swapped them for NGK now but the fitting method was still the same.

Incidentally this is an NGK cap as are all caps on my K3. Don’t know whether these are original. New on order, Dave Silvers. No other known fixings on these.
