Replacing cables on coils
« on: September 14, 2025, 07:59:24 AM »
Morning guys

Just a quick question has anyone ever changed the cables on the ignition coils ? , my coils on my 400 f work but the wiring is a little short on one of the plugs presumably where they have been cut down in the past.

These looked like sealed units so just wondered if anyone had a similar problem before .

Cheers Ken4004

Ash wrote a comprehensive 'how to' on changing the leads, not sure if the link works now though.
