Re: 87 Force 125 ignition wire leak?
I picked up a pair of parts motors locally, one runs and the other has a dead cylinder, all are 1987 models, I have three different style coils between the three motors. My original ones are blue with the wires apparently fixed permanently, another has what looks to be the same coils, only in black, with the same wire set up, and the other has tiny coils which are obviously epoxied into the coil near the windings. On my original coils, the wire exits to the side and out of a non sealed round hole in the coil winding body. On the coil with the problem, the plug wire spins free in the hole, the others are tight and don't move. All of the parts motors have wires which are corroded off on the ends.
(I got the motors for nothing, so no loss that way, but it gave me a couple of spare props if nothing else).
It looks like all of the factory coils have fixed plug wires, other than a makeshift repair, only replacement coils have removable wires.
My original impression was that the wires may attach like those on many motorcycles, with a threaded nail or stud at the coil end to hold the bare end of the wire. But that doesn't appear to be the case. Once I have a new set of coils, I'll fiddle with the old ones to see what I can do, but for now, I guess it's a search for new coils.
