HT lead fault?

[jamie_clioGTT]

anybody had any problems with there HT leads going extremley fragile plug end?

im on my 3rd set.. tryed lucas, cgb specials and now k-tec ones..

story goes.. i developed a missfire, so first port of call leads, took one of the plug and it left the locater stuck on the plug :laugh:

took them all off and investigated and all of the core's were barely exsistant. suprised shes been running.

at first i did blame myself, oh eck you heavy handed :jerkoff: so i do it with as much care as possible now..

its asif the core is getting super hot and just burning up?

thanks again..

Thats what they look like inside. its not a wire as u would expect its like a carbon core.

[jamie_clioGTT]

sorry im not sure if you understood what i ment tony, the carbon core breaks off as if theyve been getting super hot.

thanks.

i c, only thing i can think of is the connector has slid inside so its had to jump to the plug causing alot of heat?
