Thanks for taking the time to explain the process. I enjoyed the commentary.

Years ago when this happened to a new Stihl, I soldered the coil wire to that tempered plug wire. Impossible you say! But it IS possible. You can use muriatic acid on a Q-tip to wipe down the plug coil and the wire where you want to solder. Magically, the solder will now adhere to these metals. I looked around in my shop and discovered a tile grout cleaner that contained miriatic acid, and that worked just fine. Over the years it has broken to the point that I had to add a bridge wire, and used that same method. I know it will continue to break since a soldered joint in a high vibration environment will always snap, but its a good quick fix, and the wire is easy to reach on my Stihl. Good luck!

Put thespark plug hook on the wire first then slide the boot over it, 45 second repair, your way is so much more diffucult

How did you get the wire back thru the boot? That’s where I’m at.

Had to use a little bit of liquid soap myself.

norbaggar I ended up using liquid soap along with fishing line to loop it through.

STIHL has the worst ignition boot clip ever! Here's the scenario ; you're out in the bush with your STIHL chainsaw and the spark plug fouls up a bit, you decide to change it and "pop" the connector clip comes off the high tension lead. Now with cold fingers you try for ever to get the boot on back over the clip and it just ain't going to happen. Yuck, piece of junk, do yourself a favor and by a Jonsered!
