Guys,

you know that approx. 5/8" dia. coil spring that goes inside the spark plug cap (not that split ring that goes around the outside of the cap)? Well, I was eating dinner after working on my plane tonight and here comes my cat playing with something on the floor. Turns out it was that spring! Either I forgot to pop it back in before I put the spark plug cap back on, or my cat is really strong (and smart!).

Anyway, the cap has that silicone insulator thing that, along with the cap itself, REALLY holds onto the spark plug so well. So do you think I need to take the spark plug cap back off and put that spring back in, or am I good without it?

No pressure to give me the correct answer. Just the next time I'll be flying the plane will be Saturday morning round 1 of the St. Charles IMAC contest up near Chicago. [sm=72_72.gif]

Thanks.
