Need to lengthen a wire on my wetjet, and hoping there is a crimp kit or something to do it with?
Anyone lengthen a spark plug wire?

Used to do that a lot back in the Kaw 650 days. Wire core would fracture (work harden from vibration) a few inches from the spark plug boot. I would take a new piece of wire and crimp it -using an ordinary wire connector- onto the existing wire coming from the coil. Then I would apply a liberal amount of RTV to that joint and adjacent cable and slide a 3" length of cheap fuel line over the joint- would last for years. Certainly a viable repair and a water tight, well insulated joint. I recall discussing this once before on this forum-about 8 years ago. Wow! A few sensitive members thought it to be crude at the time- poor diggler caught hell.

MSD makes a splice kit don't they? Should be able to find a pic and mimic it easy enough.
I don't understand the controversy. What a guy does to keep his ride running is called ingenuity and is generally rewarded. Passing it off on others might be questionable though.

it's quick, inexpensive and the piece of hose can be a lot shorter. I just made it that long for rigidity
. That NGK thingy should be supported or fastened somehow, these wire dance around a lot at low rpm.
