Spark plug wires
Welcome to our collection of spark plug wires! Here you will find everything you need to know about spark plug cables for your moped or scooter. Whether you want to know what their function is, how to test them, or when it's time to replace them, we have the answers for you. Read on to learn more about this important part of your vehicle's ignition system.
What does a spark plug wire do?
A spark plug cable, also called an ignition cable, is an electrical cable that connects the spark plug to the ignition coil. The spark plug wire transports the high-voltage pulse from the ignition coil to the spark plug, generating the spark necessary to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber.
Conduction of high voltage pulse
The main function of a spark plug wire is to reliably conduct the high-voltage pulse from the ignition coil to the spark plug, so that a powerful spark can be produced to ignite the fuel mixture.
How can you test a spark plug wire?
There are several ways to test a spark plug wire for possible problems:
Visual inspection
Check the spark plug wire for any cracks, damage or burnt areas. These can indicate poor insulation or conduction, which can lead to a weak spark or no spark at all.
Resistance test
Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the spark plug wire. Too high a resistance may indicate poor conduction, while too low a resistance may indicate a short circuit.
How often should you replace a spark plug wire?
The lifespan of a spark plug wire can vary depending on various factors, such as the make, model and conditions of use of the moped or scooter. In general, it is recommended to inspect the spark plug wire regularly during routine maintenance and replace it if there are signs of wear or damage.
Maintenance and prevention
To extend the life of the spark plug wire, it is important to regularly check it for damage and protect it from heat, moisture and other harmful environmental factors.
How much does a spark plug cable cost to replace?
The cost of replacing a spark plug wire can vary depending on the make, model and quality of the wire. At Zandri we offer a range of spark plug wires at affordable prices, so you can choose what best suits your budget and needs.
