+1 on this, it really does work. I fired mine up on Thursday for the first time in almost four weeks; it started immediately on the button after doing this fuel pump cycling three time and that's in an unheated garage without a battery tender.


I'm going to try this. The starter never fails, nor has it ever failed to start, it just gives that queasy feeling that you're on borrowed time on occasions..!!

Drop of loctite ?
Crush the thread at the end of the plug very slightly so the cap screws on tightly ?

I've read all of the issues with spark plug boot/caps coming loose on M3W's, many seem to have this issue.

There has to be something not quite right about the spark plug boot/cap being used. How many of you have ever had "other" boot/caps come loose on other vehicles, or any gas powered motor etc?

My Harleys have lots more vibration than what the S&S motor produces and the spark plug boot/cap coming loose or off is not an issue.

It's not a big deal to swap out the boot/caps with another brand. Even a Harley boot/cap would be better in my opinion as this is NOT an issue on any of the forums I participate in.

I just looked at a downloaded picture of the wire routing. It appears they are cable tied to a brace coming forward and it appears there is a loop in the wire, but just make sure that with vibration there is a large enough loop that it's never under tension.

I first tightened the cap on the spark plug well & then squeezed the cap abit..i hope it doesn't screw loose anymore

The boot fit on the porcelain alone should be enough to hold the boot/cap on the spark plug.

Some of mine are so tight I have to use a boot puller tool to get the plug wire off the plugs.

I used spark plugs with the screw on tip for years without any boots coming off. They also make a plug boot/cap that uses the straight bolt end without the threaded tip installed. These use wire cap inserts that slide down over the plug tip threads. I think most Japanese motorcycles use them.

If you spark plugs have the treaded tips, find the boot/cap for just the threaded plug without the tip screwed on.
