I made this repair after seeing this video removed with wire still in. No spike, I followed wire. Stopped when wire turned going inside. So I made my own spike using core wire from 75 ohm cable 1 inch long inserted into new wire half way then inserted thatcore of wire left inside. Thanks for all these great tips for salvaging and renewing original factory parts that are better than aftermarket.
Wow no spike, was it one of these Nippo denso coils from the Suzuki's. The Yamaha coils don't have them, and you have to kind of butcher them, but you can still do it and fill in the hogged-out areas with JB weld. Glad you got it done ok though. That is the main thing. Thanks for spending time in the shop with me.
@@montana2strokeracer oh believe me I got to do all those things you already about. I'll be around. Thanks for helping all us old guys relive our days on these bikes when they were new.
Get a piece of suitable diameter tube/pipe, cut it about 3 to 4 inch long, sharpen one end and cut slots in it so it looks like a castle nut , put it in a cordless drill and mark wire depth with a sharpie... there should be very little cable or sealant remaining and the spike is left intact....takes seconds once tool is made.
hi Dale, many videos on you tube where people use a multimeter to check coils and plug caps and wires. but your device is the best as you can see the spark.
Thanks Frank, I like the fact that you can see the spark jump the gap. I have found that the camera doesnt pick the spark up unless you get it in the right spot.
Thanks for the clear and simple explantations. You answered all my really basic coil questions! My biggest one was, can I replace my coil wire? I have a spare that will get exactly the repair you did here!
Ben, glad the video was some help to you. Just be careful, which coils you do this to. Some are not repairable. Most that looks like the wire was glued in, you will see a bead of glue or sealant where the wire goes into the coil. Or ones that have a nut holding the wire in are good canidates. I have noticed most of the ND coils like on this Suzuki are good ones to fix. Good luck and thanks for watchin.
Oh man, not real sure, I am never for sure on these bike coils till I either fix it or ruin it. I have done enough of them to know now which ones I can do for the most part. You just have to realize when you do stuff like this that it could go the other way and you have to find another. Sorry couldn't be more help. Thanks for watching.

Great video , very informative, thank you
Thank you! Was going to ask how to fix the small black wire but you covered that too, right at the end. Excellent knowledge!
Thanks Sergio for your comment, and for watchin, any other questions just ask, will try my best to answer them.
Dale, thanks again for sharing your valuable knowledge. We always look forward to your videos.
Thank you Jeff, Im enjoying making them, just glad folks are getting some good out of them. Thanks for watchin
That's an excellent tech tip Dale, a meticulous approach and a very high quality repair. Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire, UK
Thanks Dean, it's really tough to get all the sleeving out, but it can be done. Thanks for watchin
Excellent video Dale, very thorough and detailed explanation.
Thank you, appreciate you watching
Thank you, and thanks for watchin.

Very cool thanks for sharing. Have you ever made the wire door for the tool holder on a CL 100. ?
Not yet!
Awesome,,that adds sub
Thank you so much, hope to see you back at the channel from time to time. I play with a lot of old bikes here; the fun just continues.
@@montana2strokeracer its so helpful
What kind of wire would you use on a jr50. Old little bike. I found that they sell 7mm wire or 8mm wire. Core or stranded. Im not sure what to use
Hi there, I am not sure you can do this to your bike, I am not familiar with the JR50. On the 73 TC125 Suzuki I used 7MM stranded wire.
Does anyone know if you can do the same way to replace damaged wires on lawnmower coils? I have a good coil, but the wire is half way severed off.
