Ignition Coil Installation
NOTE: If a new ignition coil is being installed, the spark plug cap, gasket, protector tube and grommet must
be removed from the old coil and installed on the new coil. See steps 1 through 8 for procedures
to remove and install these existing parts.
If the existing ignition coil will be remounted, proceed to step 9.
1. Remove the rubber gasket (1) on the plug cap (2) by rolling back the gasket onto the spark plug wire.
2. Remove the cap (2) from the wire by turning the cap counterclockwise three or four revolutions while
gently pulling it off the wire (Figure 12-28, Page 12-27).
3. Remove the gasket (1) and protector tube (3) from the old coil.
NOTE: Moisten the spark plug wire with water to make gasket removal and installation easier.
4. Remove the grommet (4) from the old spark plug wire. Clean the grommet and place it on the new
spark plug wire (5).
5. Install the protector tube onto the new wire.
6. Slide the gasket onto the end of the new spark plug wire.
7. Install the cap on the new coil spark plug wire by rotating it clockwise three or four revolutions while
applying light pressure on the cap.
8. Install the gasket (1) on the cap (2).
9. Position the ignition coil (7) onto the cast mounting bosses on the engine crankcase and tighten the two
mounting bolts (6) to finger tight at this time.
