The spark plug wire on my dirt bike needs to be replaced because it was touching the exhaust and it burned through.I was wondering if the ignition coil and spark plug wire are one piece and need to both be replaced or is there someway to disconnect spark plug wire? They spark plug wire doesn't seem to be pluged in, but it seems to be one piece. Does anyone know?
Many small coils on dirt bikes, small engines and scooters have the spark plug wire pressed and glued into coil- usually replace coil and wire together as plug wire basicly not replacable in field.. Aftermarket coils can be used with seperate wire or maybe use a car coil from VW beetle type or in couiple cases i know plain Ford patterns. BMW /5 had 2 Bosch coils with replaceable wires- what kind of bike you working with. Clamp car coil to front frame, run extended wire loom to coil, use metal core spark plug wire and marine plug cap- used to be common or 2 stroke racers. In emergency you can cut wire cored wires and splice in another piece, tape it up .
Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer. Some are one piece, some are removable.
The coils/wires I have dealt with have been replaceable. The coil has a spike in the hole the wire goes in and a retaining nut. The resistor cover is usually hard plastic[Bakelite?] and has a small screw inside the hole so you can screw the wire onto.
sophisticated situation. do a search from a search engine. that will could actually help!
