Speaking of the Stihl shop manual... Has anyone had much success installing the plug boot and spring from the plug tower side as shown in the manual? Getting the spring to stay in the wire while bending the whole assembly and shoving it into the boot is an exercise in frustration! I finally found that it was much easier to crimp the spring into the wire and insert it straight into the wire end of the boot using a little silicone spray lube.
Install the boot onto the bare wire, install the spring into the wire, hold the wire while pulling the boot over the spring, job done, easy peasy lemon squeasy.
