You should have mentioned the use of a thin layer of dielectric grease smeared on the inside of the rubber boot or as i do on the ceramic part of the spark plug is a must. It prevents the rubber boot getting stuck and also prevents any arcing/spark escaping the boot. Also you should have said to make sure you check that the gap is correct, i have bought the correct spark plugs several times and the gap has been way off, even closed sometimes. Correct plug, correct gap, a little dielectric grease on the ceramic and the correct torque when tightening and job done. It says on the pack how much to tighten to crush the washer 👍. I do it buy feel.
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing. I do have a question that I thought you might be able to help with: I was performing my 100 hr service on my 2019 Yamaha 115LB. As I was pulling the cylinder #1 spark plug lead, my hand slipped off the boot. Unfortunately, my hand caught the cable and pulled it out of the boot. I inspected the ignition coil to determine how to replace the lead; however, it appears that the leads are hardwired into the ignition coil. Is that, in fact, the case. If so, do you know if replacing the ignition coil a plug-and-play repair? If I am able to replace just the lead, do the lead wires simply from the ignition coil, or does the ignition coil need to be dissembled? Thank you.
Hi ... sorry for the late reply, thank you for watching and commenting on my plug change video. As far as your new question goes, I would continue to search out on UA-cam, I am merely a DIYer and would not want to take you down the wrong path, sorry I could not be of more assistance to you.
