Need advice on re-attaching spark plug wire on 1997 700 RMK

I had a spark plug wire separate from the cdi/coil on my 1997 700 RMK. I've never run into this before. How do I re-attach it?

If it is like my '99, there is a wood screw looking thing in the CDI/coil box. The spark plug wire just screws into it. I would put some dielectric grease in there too. Hope this helps.

Just buy a new sled... You deserve it.

Thanks Flit, I'd tried screwing it in (like I've done with spark plug caps in the past) but was unsuccessful. I'll give it another go.

Rip, I appreciate your acknowledgement of my needs but even Santa isn't going to be able to accomodate me this year! plus, the sled is my kid's...ha ha. Or should I say, "ho ho".

Try cutting about an inch off of the wire before you attach it to the cdi. Also, when you are twisting it on, push like hell.

Will do Barnes. I'll wander out to the garage after Santa shows.
