Plugs - ON1670199

are you using the shielded plugs and metal covered wires with the $800.00 coil ? Those numbers I gave out replace those

gardnersf · Post by **gardnersf** » Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:03 pm

yes, so these are acceptable replacements?

Aslo I cannot find the EIK in stock anywhere. 160-1376. Anyone know where to get one?

if I convert to the Electronic Ignition kit, do I still need the condenser?

no on the condenser

Thanks,

I ordered the cables, spark plugs and coil to go with the EIK kit I found. Hopefully the generator will run much better after the overhaul.

where did you find the kit.

I was contacted by a member of Smokstak forum. He had three in stock, (now two)

I then ordered the RCCK coil, wires, and plugs. Thansk for the numbers.

Great to hear! I'm planning on starting the work next week. May pull the carb this week and rebuild if I get the chance. I ordered the new coil, wires and plugs per your part numbers and have the EIK kit.

Anything particlualry difficult?

Does it seem to run better?

it was pretty much just bolt it in. But I installed the whole EIK base and cover that came with it. Did you get the new push rod for it you'll need it. you need any help e-mail me my BB is on all day.

I see that a base comes with the EIK. Too bad I spent money on an extra base. My have to ebay that off.

Did you have to trim any metal form the EIK other than the nub on the base?
