lengthening spark plug wire?

[newrider3]

So I've been screwing with the Briggs again, and run into another snag (big fvckin surprise). Since I'm using a 3hp flywheel and coil adapter, I have to run a 3hp coil aswell. But the coil wire is a couple inches short. How do I extend it or install a longer one? It looks to be glued/epoxied at the coil end.

I dont know if this is the proper way, but i would cut it, and splice another plug wire into it, solder it good, and follow that up with a few pieces of shrink wrap tubing.

Not sure if this applies to Briggs coils, but works on most.

Old wire should pull out, then you push in it a new wire (there is a spike in there to make contact), crimp on a new end and you are good to go.

i did this to a honda coil the other day for the same reasons. it was glued in really good so i ended up cutting the coil's wire case down by half to expose the glue. the wire screws onto the coil, just make sure the wire is touching the spire. ngk plug caps also screw on. the bike shops should carry bulk plug wire, tel them you need 'x' amount of wire. don't forget to add the depth of the coil and caps cavities to you measurement

should screw in and out. ngk plug caps work the same way

Some Briggs wires are epoxied in place.

tyler those are the better ones. i had maybe 20 of those type coil around here. most dual plug wire
