How To Install Ignition Wire Barb and Boot

[gumneck]

Great advice on a really seemingly miniscule point of putting the barb far enough back that it forces a tighter connection at the tip. Going to do it that way with the heat shrink from here on.

I often microwave a cup of water to get stubborn fuel lines on...2 minutes and its hot. The last coil wire I did I used silicone lube spray on both boot and wire, made it super easy.

Nice video tom. I absolutely hate those barb plug clips. Seems like a cheap out imo.

Thanks Sean, me too. Though, the ones with a barb on each side aren’t quite so bad!

You’re welcome!

just wanted to say that I appreciate the info you share here. If you were several thousand miles closer, maybe you could help me with some saw issues!

It’s a pleasure, I’m glad some people find it helpful. I’m sure others get a bit irritated, understandably. Trying to find a balance myself.
