Recently I converted a Makita 6401 to 79cc. During reassembly, the spark plug boot pulled away from the wire. I had bought the saw used on e-bay, and part of the coil that attaches to the top of the plug had always been sticking out the side of the boot, but had not been a problem 'til now. I was EXTREMELY eager to try the saw out but a repair was impossible. I looked around my neat and orderly shop :monkey: and noticed the igniter wire in a pile of salvaged lp furnace parts I had saved. The igniter wire cap fit on the sparkplug PERFECTLY. In 10 minutes I fired that bad boy up and haven't had any problem.

The 79cc p&c was a great investment.
