Don't know whether to blame this on my fat mitts or the previous owner wearing out the original boot, but bottom line: It's broke!

My non-mechanical skills are pretty well documented, yet I did find the entire coil wire and boot kit replacement kit on EBAY for about $6.00.
Is this a simple fix or must I take it to my local yokel Stihl Guru?

Thanks,
Reg

Simple fix.
Ignition wire simply threads into the coil.
Easier to remove coil for such a task.
Dont forget to re-gap coil/flywheel upon reassembly. A business card will do the trick

Alright then...appreciate it.
I've gotten kinda partial to Champion 852ECO & DENSO W22MP-U 6027 plugs.
