What's Right?

Post by Coyote »

I was messing with a spare coil pack today getting ready to put new plug caps on. Upon removing the old caps, I discovered that 2 of the wires are stranded and one has a single larger wire. So someone has replaced something in the past. Also a dead give away, there is no epoxy where the wires enter the coils. Not even a trace and no signs of scraping. I assume with these screw on plug caps you would want the stranded type wire. Stranded or solid?
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Stranded is correct. Solid is fine for household wiring but is not designed for motorcycle use.
