Thank you so much for this! Just saved me buying a whole new assembly for my Ryobi power head. I thought I broke the wire changing the plug this weekend. EASY fix!
thank you as well for this....I never seen a set up like this and when I took the plug wire of a predator power head that spring came flying out with it....had no idea how it worked....Thanks again.
Chris, Thanks for the video. I spent three minutes watching and five minutes on the repair and now the GF is out weed eating. Life if good! THANKS AGAIN!
thank you so much! I really appreciate the time you took to help others, very nice of you! this is just what we needed help on, for our 15 hp 1976 Evinrude. ( Now If I can just figure out how to put in the pinion spring...)
This was very informative .Excellent shots of steps and great suggestions . Perhaps the coil of my saw isn't shot but bad contact due to my plug changes !!
The coiled wire that crimps into the plug wire, is what makes the connection. As long as it's crimped into the plug wire (through the rubber coating, your good.
Hi Christopher , thanks for this upload i have a old weedeater GTI 17xp i thought of trying to get it running again i have recently become keen in fixing old unuseable lawn tools i have i noticed the rubber booot of the spark plug is missing it has just a curled wire wraped around the tip of spark plug, would a new boot be needed to make it run ? thanks for your replies
I couldn't get the coil into my Stihl 450c blower boot after using oil and tried it 15 times, so I had to solder the wire to the coil and leave the boot off. If corrosion isn't an issue with it being left outside, than I can live with my fix if it holds up.
Chris Boyce, I have a situation I need advice withI have a Stihl Weed eatter FS 56 RC.I broke the connect end to spark plug from coil.Coil is fine, it's the other end that goes into boot looks like silver coil spring.Goes over plug.It snapped off right at end of black wire.Was not thrilled to buy a new coil, so holding off till see what options are.First, I need to splice and extend wire.Factory long is a joke.Thinking cut solder another wire to extend, heat shrink splice? Next my issue is where can I buy a crimper end so it'll go over plug and what are they called?
Do you know if I can swap the rubber boot on the end of the wire from a hedge trimmer (jonsered ht21) onto a small chainsaw (sthil ms180) or do I need to buy a new one?
I was told that the old outboards needed to use copper core ignition wires to work properly. Are you aware of this requirement? Your replacement wires appear to be steel?
Watched several other videos! if I hadn't found you, never would've figured how to fix my spark plug! Close-ups Brilliant!!!

Thank you for the close-up photos at the end. That made it very easy to follow.
I had difficulty pushing the spring by hand so i used a shard nail to start hole. Awesome vid saved $

Tried this just going to get one of those msd ones now , it was obviously put together bad it ripped off leaving the spring on the spark plug
The spring is part of the spark plugs wire kit from Sierra.
Thank you. I was just going to ask you that...
If I order a replacement boot, is the spring wire typically included?
Do you know if I can swap the rubber boot on the end of the wire from a hedge trimmer (jonsered ht21) onto a small chainsaw (sthil ms180) or do I need to buy a new one?

How you install I need to replace my thank you
I didn't know it was that easy
Been puzzling me. I pulled the cap off and was left with the spring still on the plug.
Terence Jay
Me too! Tried this still isn’t working tho
I use dielectric silicone grease.
problem is my boot isn't a right angle so I can't feed the whole wire through it first. It's a harder angle
How you install
Please respond back w/ the spring coil size and where it can be purchased...thaniks
Jim Fike mine came in a kit by Sierra from Amazon. The kit was for a relacement coil for a Johnson 15 hp. I hope this helps.
The spring/coilthread is 5mm
DON'T STRIP YOUR CHAINSAW PLUG WIRE
What kind of fuckery is this spring contraption? Bring back the crimp style and they won't keep falling off. Ridiculous design.
