Ford 2000; 3 cyl. gas; 4/1 trans....I submitted this post yesterday and got an email saying there was a message but, when I clicked on the link, the message I submitted was not there, just the subject line. So, here's my post again....
When I bought my tractor several months ago the owner gave me a package of leftover carb kit parts and a new set of plug wires he said he got from Steiner. He said he couldn't get the wires to fit onto the plugs and I had the same problem. The diameter of the rubber boot prevents the boot from slipping over the plug and snapping onto the plug tip. I'm gonna try to wire brush a small amount of that diameter off the rubber boots so they will fit down like they should. I realize I want a snug fit and wanted to ask if anyone else had such a problem and if the fix would work.
Thanks for your input.
