Ongoing PD46 carburettor woes (possibly)

<< < (9/14) > >>

keithtraffic:
Thanks - did you replace the plug caps as well - the DSS ones don't come with those?

JezzaPeach:
Yes the plugs NGK D7EA and NGK resistor caps. 2 long and 2 short with angles at top in black. I’ll try to attach pics. Didn’t cut cables short and outer plugs can point back and in with leads through p clips. Will try a pic of that too

Me too. Also I don't like HT leads direct contacting the head. Better to insulate real well!

Don't know if anyone is doing the same,  but I assemble the leads into plug caps using silicone grease which improves water resistance and helps as you screw the cap in.

It's high temperature resistant and I just by it in little tubs from plumbing supply shop.

Edit;- https://www.cityplumbing.co.uk/Polypipe-Silicone-Grease-100g-SG100/p/919370 it's this one I use.

JezzaPeach:
Good points. I’ll make sure the leads turn up a bit more.
