Is it possible to replace the spark plug wire in a C-5 coil? Unfortunately someone cut the plug wire. I tried splicing it back together but I’d rather replace the wire if I can. It seems like it’s glued into the coil. Idk I might just have to get a new coil.

Make sure it is clean, install new wire and seal it with something like MotoSeal .Take your time. |

You may be better off pulling the entire coil assembly off in order to have an easy access to the wire.The wire is quite skinny & I found some 5mm.plug wire on eBay some yrs.ago that worked great.I've found since then that Stihl coil/plug wire is the right size & can be bought by the foot on Sawzilla.com,or you may be able to buy a ft.at your local Stihl dealer.I tried using the original OEM wire & found that it was just too stiff to work with.Better pliability with the Stihl wire & better insulation IMO.

Ok thank your for the info. Luckily I have a Stihl dealer down the road so I’ll see if they have any wire In stock plus I need a couple other things from them anyways. I’m going to try and work on it today and see what I can do with it. |
