        I don't think i have to worry about anything getting blown off, the tank does not leak. I went to the suzuki store and everything is discontinued. Any suggestions on ignition components. The replacement coils that they were showing are $145.00 a piece that seems pretty expensive for just a coil?

          why do you need new coils? The arcing is probably because your plug caps are trash. Buy some new ones NGK) for a couple bucks each. Pull your old ones off the wires, trim the wires back about a 1/4 inch, install new caps. Be done. Go ride..

            So he likes blowing dicks, OK.

            You can replace the wires in your existing coils, or you can trim off the end and reconnect the existing plug caps. New caps are available at Z1 or anyplace else, cheap. Do a search for how to replace the wires.

              I had a wire about 2 inches up from the cap on my 77 750 that was arching on #4... actually throught the rubber wire coating. Found this one day by accident reaching over it with the engine running and got poked pretty good. anyways the old timers i hang around with told me to take the coils off the bike and go buy some 100% silicone spray from the auto parts store and SOAK the entire wires at least 3 times letting it completely dry between applications.. This fills every micro crack with silicone and also waterproofs them at the same time.. i went one step further and rubbed the wet silicone in with my fingers then let it dry..figured why not work it in really deep.. to finish this long novel..It worked and i am still running the wires to this day. I then did it to the other two bikes as well just as a stop gap measure.

              I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
