That is old non suppression wire. We used it on performance engines occasionally at a place i worked in the 90's

It may still be available from performance jobber's ???? But i would replace it with newer suppression wire because it wont

interfere with radio recption ,TV and the likes. If its solid core wire dose it really need replacing ?????

i'd get some 7mm solid core wire and the appropriate ends from an auto parts store and make one.

or you could just order part # 7-01700 from Primeline. Napa or O'Reilly should be able to get it for you

the old wire is missing the plug terminal end and may be a little short, i wish it was ok

You can replace the wire without changing the coil on a K91. Pull the wire out of the coil ( easier said than done) and you will see the little pin inside the hole that pokes into the wire. That's why a stranded wire would work better. Epoxy it back in.

John, my K-241 is magneto under flywheel coil I presume similar to smaller engines do you know if the spark wire is removable and replaceable like that, thanks.

I don't think so but I'm not sure. I only know the K91 coil wire can be done because I changed one.

But.... If your coil is junk because the wire is junk, pull it out and see. If not, you needed to buy a new coil anyway
