I had my KX500 running, but this was short lived. There could be several things electrical wrong with the bike, but one thing I suspect is that the plug cap is shot (or might you suggest otherwise?). I used to have a nice, big, fat blue spark, but now I have to shove a tight-fitting nail up inside the cap to get a spark big enough to jump from nail to cylinder head nut. I'm dead sure she has the original cap fitted, so what I'd like to know is this: is the HT lead made of copper and tin plate or is it one of those carbon resistor types. I'm not able to unscrew the HT lead at either end so want to be sure which plug cap to buy when I come to cut it. Any suggestions, recommendations, dos or don'ts, or any other reason it's not doing its job? Any photos would also be helpful.
Thanks in anticipation.
