I made the same repair on a different brand of chainsaw. The metal piece didn’t break, the operator pulled on the wire instead of the boot and the metal piece pulled out of the wire and the boot. To put it back together I lubed the wire and put the boot on first, then attached the metal piece to the wire and it was pretty easy to pull the boot over the metal piece. Another excellent video, thanks for sharing.

You help millions of people who are like myself that have little knowledge of these repair procedures. Thank you for all you do.

Another idea is to soak the rubber boot in a cup of boiling water first to make it more pliable and easier to slide on. Thanks for the great tips Don. 👍

Heat gun.

little additional tip...use heat shrink tubibg to hold the metal tab tight to the wire...works really good if the wire has some issues to hold it strong in place...i use wd40 for the boot to start it as well...

All these years tinkering with small engines, yet I never knew about that coiled connector. I guess I have just been lucky. Once again, you have provided me with information so I can look like a genius to my neighbours!

Great design! Said no one ever.

If you thread the boot down the wire till the ignition lead is sticking up and out of the boot you can then pull the boot up and over the sparkplug contact spring. That way you avoid the narrow end. Less chance the spring will come out of the ignition lead.

Another great short tip! I like the idea of putting dielectric grease on plug. It's similiar to using anti-seize on items such as tractor axles so you can get the wheels off easily. I have struggled in the past removing older stubborn spark plug boots and have wasted my money buying a new coil / boot. Ugh! Thanks again Don!

another awesome video, dony! other repair guys get puzzled out i replace boots and spark connectors and I always have a hard time explaining myself. you do an amazing job in explaining your repairs and diagnoses.

I feed the HT wire lead through the boot, put the spark plug coil lead on the HT wire, then pull it back into the boot (with lubricant).

I should have read the comments ... usually do but not today !

Thank you for sharing this information. I had this happen to my snow blower this past winter and was contemplating purchasing a new spark plug wire. Looking at the spark plug boot and wire is exactly what I watched on this video. Thank you very much.

Worked like a charm and saved me the cost of a new boot/ignition coil! Thanks very much!!

You make the job at hand look very easy,thanks you for your video clips

Thank you, You made it very clear how to do this. My clip came off the wire when removing boot from spark plug on Stihl backpack, I didn't know how to put it back together. Thanks again for the helpful video

I wished I had watched this before I tried to replace it with out knowing what to heck I was doing. After struggling with it for about an hour I watched your video and had it back together in two minutes. Thank you very much for your help.

So much thanks! I was about to just go buy a new trimmer but your video was perfect and applied directly to my ryobi trimmer. Thank you again.

Thanks so much for this video. I have never had this problem until today. It was incredibly helpful to find this video and be able to fix the problem in a few minutes.

I just want to thank you because I am a homeowner and I like to figure things out but this one was beyond me and I was going to pay money to have it repaired but you saved me time and money because this is very doable thanks for your knowledge and I can add another skill in my journey to be a home Craftsman thanks so much

You're the man! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. True class act!

Thank you for that repair boy that makes sense I've never ran into that but now I know I always watch your videos thanks for all your videos

I have always just bought a whole new wire. But i can see why this could make sense as well. thanks for sharing

Thank you, my saw was running fine yesterday and then I could not start it. Tried checking the spark plug and this exact issue happened. I will fix it myself!

Great instructions, will be helpful for many.

Brilliant as always. Just bought a used Ryobi string trimmer. Boot head is ripped.

Thanks again for sharing your vast knowledge. You are money 💰

That happened to me. But luckily it didn’t break the metal part. I slipped the boot on first then the metal part reinstalled the boot on the plug and used dialectic grease! That was 2 years ago still going strong! Thanks for the videos and all your help brother!🇺🇦☮️✌🏻

Thank you. This helped me to be able to fix a leaf blower with the same problem.

Donyboy - you are a legend! Thanks again for this advice!!

Great stuff Dony!

Nice video again Don. You always make everything you do look so easy.

had my boot slip off today on the chainsaw, thanks for the wd40 tip! got it back on real nice. seems like those coils are on tighter than they used to be. i appreciate the video

Thanks so much for the clear helpful video. I just pulled mine loose while getting ready for the next season.

Had to replace the plug boot on my trimmer. The old boot was so tight I had to cut it off. My replacement boot had a smaller wire opening and I thought there was no way I could get the wire, let alone the metal lead, through the boot. Saw your video...the WD 40 was the secret. Took less than 5 mins...magical. Thanks.

Thank you for this very valuable instruction as always!

Didn’t even know those were interchangeable. Thanks again!

Dony, you are the Best !Thank you again....

Once again thank-you and God Bless!

Nice job 👍

I had a similar issue with my boot and connector wire. Glad to see that I guessed correctly and got it all together and working. I will use the WD40 next time to make it a little easier! Thanks!

Heat the rubber boot up too with a heat gun or blow dryer.

BINGO! Thanks this is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! And I have a contribution to everyone here! Take the boot and drop it into a cup of hot soapy water for several minutes. The rubber will loosen up and it will SLIP EASILY RIGHT OVER THE SPRING AND WIRE! You wont have to fight with it at all!

Very helpful! Thanks Dony Boy!

Thank you so much, was searching a while to find a video like this!

Thought I needed to buy a new part but again KZread and Donyboy73 comes thru. Thanks for posting this easy fix. Saw fired right up.

Good info. Thanks for sharing Dony!

So many helpful tips ! Than you sir

great video! Thank you Sir!

Thank you so much this video really helps

Bloody brilliant buddy....thx.

It's very useful and specific

Great tip!

Thank you very much - just helped me out :)

vary nice pro tip thank you

Wow! Thank you very much Don!

Wow...we're talking 1940's concepts that are still relevant today. Insulating boot, good connectivity, lube, etc. And the nasty job of getting that connector into the boot! Interesting. Thanks Dony!

You are the MAN 💪

Another great short tip video! Hello from Ottawa, happy Canada Day.

Thanks Man ! I fixed it on my Stihl BG 86. I used the original puncture hole in the wire, the clip was not broken. It works just fine

Thanks for the info.

Awesome video don! Hope your busy in the shop. Take care!

Thanks brother for that

Great info.. Enjoy your Canada Day🇨🇦

Hola Dony ur great man thanks for video 👍👍

Great video, exactly what I needed to know. I guess the best way to remove it in the first place is to use pliers on the tip of the rubber closest to the end. Not sure why its so tight and remember small engines having a "C" style metal band that came off a lot easier. Thanks again!

thanks now i learn

Thank you. Mistery solved.

thank man I never knew the spring was shaped like that

Why not put the boot on the wire first going past the area where the metal contact goes and once you get the boot on put the metal contact on and then pull the boot forward?

That seems easier and the only way I've tried doing this. The hardest part is getting that wire to go around the 90 degree elbow, but its not that hard.

I was thinking the same,but the spark plug wire is very short & probably wont have enough length to allow for this.

Thank you!

sitting the boot in the wood stove for a few seconds to soften it up works as well

Love the intro and positive energy Don. Awesome video on this repair (with the technique and tips to make it easy). Hope you and your family have a great weekend. Celebrating the July 4th weekend here in the States.

After I put the metal part i n the middle I put some wires isolated around to stay better and cover with some isolated band, that for not moving so much.Have a nice day.

Thank s!!

Swiping up quickly I thought I saw someone holding the Stanley Cup in a thumbnail. Turned out to be a giant spark plug 🤣

WE put the boot on first .

I'm rescuing an MS461 and today tracked it down to an intermittent ignition wire. At first I was happy to find this video but after piercing my finger once, pinching it hard with the pliers, I realized that this method is backwards. Haven't done it in many years and not on a chainsaw, but the boot really needs to go on first. When you pierce the wire with the spring contact, the boot then easily slides up and over the straight portion of the contact. The coil spring never needs to pass through the boot except for entering the large end.

thanks . i sometimes fix bad plug wires on my car . mine tend to break right at end that goes on plug . strip 1/2 inch of outer jacket , turn inner conductor 180 degrees back onto outer jacket , re-crimp metal connector over both , slide boot back into place .

We use hair spray, it is slick and allows the wire to slide in, then when dry is solid and helps hold it in place(put in correctly it usually doesn't need help though)

Got it DB73, I hope this doesn't happen to me. I'm going to be careful from now on. God Bless My Friend👍

Just the info I needed! Thx. So, if there is room to put the boot on first then slide it up, would you do it?

This is exactly what happened to me Donny and I didn’t know how to put it back together until someone showed me lol… I wish I had seen this first. Thanks mate
