I see NGK is now offering a splicer which looks like a good unit. Anybody have experience with this? NGK J1 8083. For extra insurance against grounding it could be wrapped in one or two layers of shrink tube.

Next question: I am looking for 7mm sparkplug wire that has a harder covering. The only type I've seen is the colorful braided outside coverings but I want black. The problem is abrasion where the plug wire is rubbing back and forth on the head steady. The sp wire I bought wears away fairly quickly when it touches anything.

You could clip a length of (black?) fuel hose, clear tubing or fit spiral wrap over the wire where it rubs against the head steady the same as the braided rocker feed line below, (or control cable).

We would call that "Packard" wire. Great stuff and sheer audio havoc to cars in range.
 
I don't get it.
HT lead isn't expensive enough to go to the effort of splicing - let alone the risk of creating more resistance.
...or am I missing something?

I think the word splicing has been used instead of sheathing
Unless I'm missing something?
 
I have a coil with molded in wires. I would like to re-route them which requires a longer wire. This is for a BMW R60/2 with a Boyer. I have had other instances where splicing would come in handy. Whenever possible I would not use a splicer.
 
pretty much just use 440 packard copper core ignition wire. also use a small piece of vacuum tubing any place where it comes in contact with any bike or engine parts for extra protection.
