The IPL for a Super EZ AO shows part number 65205 high tension lead (spark plug wire). I have an A-94111 solid state module with a damaged plug wire. The plug wire looks like it was installed then the resin was poured around it. Is it possible to pull the wire from the module, then replace it? Why would they sell a part that you can't install if you can't pull the old spark plug wire out? I haven't tried to remove it yet, I was wanting to get some advice before I ruined a module that is expensive to replace. Thanks, Tim

Iv'e never tried replacing the wire on one of those ignitions. On the coils for points systems, you unscrew the wire.
Where is the wire damaged?

The 65205 wire is for a points type ignition coil...the wire on the A-94111 module is not of a replaceable type.

The wire is broken off before the boot, too short to reach the spark plug. The IPL lists the lead 65205 for the A-94111 module.

Yes both ignition types used the same 65205 high tension lead but the A-94111 module has it's lead epoxied in place..you may be able to splice on a new section of wire to repair it.

If I can save the module for a $3.00 wire, that is what I will do. I never heard of anyone splicing a plug wire with any sucess. It is a spare module that came off one of my junkyard saws, so if it is unfixable no great loss. I was hoping someone had experienced this problem before and had a easy fix. Thanks, Tim!

Is it 7mm solid multistrand core plug wire? If so, than it can be spliced sucessfully. I worked 40 years in high voltage radar. It is a fussy job that will have many steps including overnight RTV curing periods but I've done it several times.
I highly doubt it would be carbon resistor wire, never seen it in these types of items.

I agree with dynodave, it can be spliced.

I just looked at one on my bench and it unscrewed easily. Even the leads that are epoxied in place can usually be replaced as the epoxy tends to tear away from the insulation with enough force. I'd seriously attempt replacing the lead first. If you can get the old one out, you are home free.

Just got home from work and read your post. I took my old module and unscrewed the plug wire. Amazingly simple! I couldn't understand why there was a part number for a plug wire if you couldn't get the old one out somehow. Very useful information! Hopefully someone else has an old module that needs a plug wire too and reads your post. Thank you very much!

I've unscrewed any that I threw in the oven. Normal twisted barb in the module. Maybe the later ones don't come out.

Aw Snap:\ My statement above of the lead being "not of a replaceable type" is incorrect..only an assumption.
I hate posting inaccurate information..My mistake I apologize.

Yeah, I just try my best to give the best info I have. And when someone points out that I error, I just remember that I have known that for a long time and don't worry about it. And try to remember the correct info.

Al Don't worry about it, everyone makes mistakes. Nobody can know everything, Im still learning everyday. Just today I learned there are 3 different muffler shields for the 2000,2100,2100s saws, even though they all have the same part# |
