cymaz Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 If you take off the retaining ring from the plug cap it makes putting the cap on easier......but it is important to keep the plug on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 My NGH engines had push fit caps and I freely admit to fitting them with a mallet on more than one occasion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 I confess that a I put a piece of wood on top of the plug cap and whacked it with “me ommer”. Do or die. I don’t think I’ll get up the field today, it’s chucking it down, I will be away for two weeks after today so that’s everything stuffed.

cymaz Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Dont forget to make sure the steel ring that sits on the cap collar is in place. It stops the cap from falling off....though I suspect that might not happen if you hit it ‘ard enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 It’s definitely in place Cymaz. If it dries up a bit later today I could run the motor up in the garden and see if the problem’s solved. Not sure if the neighbours will speak to me afterwards though. I was revving my Norton up around the cul de sac yesterday. Have to have a fix occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
