Re: Slick Mag / spark plug wire removal question
There is a tool that swedges the ferrule under the lead. Do you know anyone with a lead checker to varify? Also, sometimes p-leads get reversed and it could be the other plug.

These folks might can help if you just need one lead.

Re: Slick Mag / spark plug wire removal question
Thanks Steve . Had a buddy loan me a lead checker and the wire seems ok , although I’m not sure about the test equipment . With the tester set up when you fire the plug it does spark between the electrodes but not in the window on the lead checker .
I have to call a mechanic at this point because of the lead needing to be crimped , I don’t have the tools

Forgot to ask , ever see a magneto act like a bad wire ? Fire three cylinders only ?

No I haven't. If you determine it is the lead I can send you the tools when I return from Oshkosh.

My lead checker is hooked to the battery and the lead, spark plugs should be out of the circuit. Push the button and you see the spark in the window.

Re: Slick Mag / spark plug wire removal question
So back to the tester . Leave the cap on the mag , remove lead at spark plug end attach clamp from red lead to spring at spark plug end . Black lead to any ground . Small red lead to
power source . Push button , no spark in window means bad lead , correct ?
