Motorcycle Repair: Coil, plug wires, grommet


Question
I have spark on one side of the coil. I have replaced the sparkplug caps and still have spark on one side only.

Is it possible to replace sparkplug wire coming out of coil?

It is for a 1981 CB 400t
Appreciate your thoughts on the matter, dealer said spark plug wires not available.

Answer
Normally you can remove the wires, there is a fitting on the end with a grommet that can be unscrewed, or sometimes the wire is just screwed on to a threaded post in the coil.  You can buy replacement HT wire in most automotive stores, but it sounds like perhaps the coil is dead on one side, in which case you need a new coil.

Good luck,  Jan
