Hello, when I tried firing up the motor it wouldn't start. Turned out to be the fuel bulb. Any way I first checked for spark by holding the boot and touching plug to the motor and my buddy pulled the cord. Well one wire came out of the coil. Put it back in and it was fine. The second one shocked me so I want to replace both. The coils are three years old. Can I use any wire?? Is it 7mm?? Where can I get them. Thanks.

Any automotive parts store would have spark plug wire on a roll whereas you can buy whatever length you need.

You must use plug wire that has a metal core, steel or copper. DO NOT attempt to use the carbon core plug wire.

Yes it ran this weekend after fuel bulb was replaced. They are 7mm correct? Thanks for the help.
