Problem -

DIFFICULT STARTING IN DAMP CONDITIONS - KING LEAD

The king lead becomes loose at the ignition coil connection.

Cause

The king lead comes into contact with the air box. Vibration against the air box loosens the connection between the king lead and the coil causing HT ‘flashover’ in damp conditions.

Action

On customer complaint of poor damp starting, replace the existing king lead with the new lead described below. The new lead has a redesigned cap at the coil end which incorporates two internal sealing rings, (arrowed in illustration 1), to improve retention to the coil.

NOTE: Whilst the cap has been redesigned, there is no change to part number. When fitting the new lead, route as described below, to avoid contact with the air box.
