better plug caps

[pura vida]

as some have discovered polaris's plug caps have been less than spectacular at times. while trying to eliminate possibilities for an rpm issue (see other post) i checked my plugs. when i pulled the cap off the pto plug the cap came off in my hand. trimmed the wire back and reinstalled the cap but the metal inside the cap that makes contact with the top of the plug is black, on both caps. to me this means they have not always had a good contact with the wire and it is arcing.

so anyone know of higher quality spark plug caps? watercraft? race applications?

thanks

I have these and if I remember correctly, they are made by MSD, a great ignition products manufacturer. Very easy to install.

Ditto. I use the SLP non-resistor race caps on my Doos and really noticed an improvement for spark and less fouling and arcing; I highly recommend them, especially over the cheap NGK version which never worked well for me.

Have FUN!

on a side note, what should the gap be?

Happened to me last week in the bighorns, put champions in it and cut 3/8 inch of the wire and reinstalled the caps and cleaned the black out of them with gas and a Qtip.(Its all I had)Ran like a champ.

Push em on nice n snug, then just put a zip tie around boot, halfway down. It'll squeeze the spark plug and hold it in place.

The SLP boots (which are silicone impregnated and thus less arcing) come with boot retainers - not an issue. They are the bomb!

Have FUN!
