I'm doing my annual inspection. It has been ten  years since I have had my Classic IV certified. I'm replacing everything. I  called Lockwood today and gave them the part number for new spark plug wires.  They said they sell it by the MM. Anyone know how much to order? I  have a 912UL. Thanks, Jeff Classic IV

I am also looking for wire information. It appears  that the original wire I have (the blue wires) have a metal shielding. The new  wires do not have the shielding. I have the "big metal ignition box behind the  instrument panel. I am concern with noise. Any help out there.

Jeff, this doesn't sound right.  I am not  looking at my wires right now but I think they are all molded together and into  the coil.

Barry,  The wires are threaded into the coil and the terminals.  There are 

threaded spikes in both and the wire can be twisted counter-clockwise out 

and inserted opposite.  The diameter is the important part.  I replaced mine 

several years ago.

I have the same metal box and would like to replace the spark plug wires also, but I have not been able to determine how to disconnect the spark plug wires from the trigger coils. Looks like they are molded into the trigger coils.  Does anyone know if the spark plug wires can be removed from the older trigger coils like Paul and I have on our 912's?

I don't know about the 912 but on my 582, I  relocated the coils off the engine and to the firewall.  Of course, I had  to put in longer spark plug wires.  The wires at the coil end were  installed with a type of locktite.  It's the locktite that held the wires  in place.  The spark plug caps screwed into the wires.

     As an added note, I purchased  "ROTAX" replacement wire from Spruce and it was "way" inferior to what was on  the engine originally.  Re-ordered the same "ROTAX" wire from CPS and it  matched perfectly to the original wire.  Just be aware...
