Which plug caps do I need ? '97 XTC 600

[Summitt22]

Hey,

I've searched already but didn't find the info I need.

I need to replace my plug caps, can I replace them with something from an automotive store ? If so, what part # should I look for NGK or otherwise ?

The sled will bog intermittently, when I touch the left plug cap or the plug itself I get shocked ! Surprised me the first time that's for sure !!

Thanks for your help..

The resistor/resistance built into the cap is key. Do your home work and figure out what you need. Most shops will sell you what ever thay have and say it right. Most regular auto parts dont carry these. I have had good luck at some farm/fleet stores and small equiptment shops (chainsaw/mower..etc) Bought the last correct set from a saw shop for cheaper than sled shop wanted for the wrong ones!

is the sled also real cold blooded? backfire when cold?

From what I understand you want to see 5 ohms of resistance out of the plug caps, ended up going to my local performance engine guy and he suggested I go with NGK LB05EP .

Should be good to go now, thanks for the help guys
