My FIL and I were using my old Farm Boss today as we have most snowy weekends this Winter and I went to change out the 16" bar for the 20" - upon closing up after it wouldn't start. Went to check that the spark plug wasn't flooded (seems to happen when I run hard and then shut it down for 10-20) and the top end of the plug boot came off in my hand with the wire sticking out the the rubber shield on the still attached side. Whoops!
I've searched a bit but couldn't find any other threads where it actually separated - is it as simple as me stripping back the wire and crimping a new line into the boot? I initially lost the spark coil but then found it on a shred of bark (Shew).
Would it be simpler to just buy a new boot assembly at Advance Auto or such? Does the wire connection need to be soldered to the metal coil to spark properly?
