How to extend CDI ignition wires?
I have a Homelite 330 chainsaw which I had to replace the ignition module on with a newer module. The module is considerably smaller than the old one, and after making a plate to mount it on, I found that the spark plug wire is too short, and it is permanently part of the module. I know that the CDI module has some sort of noise damping system on high-tension lead, but will an extension ather the factory plug end affect this? I have a number of old Champion RJ19 plugs kicking around; I was considering smashing the insulator off one of these, cutting off the contact tip (the one the wire plugs onto) and soldering it to some solid core home wire with a clip on the other end to connect to the new plug, and then using this to bridge the gap after liberal wrapping with electrical tape, just for engine testing purposes.
I have also seen splice kits designed for motorcycles with CDI, would buying one of those and splicing in some automotive wire be a better permanent fix in the long run?
Those kits work quite well on saws, in my experience.
