[Classic1275cc]

the centre ht lead that goes from the coil to the distributer keeps trying to arc out either from the rubber at the tip onto the coil or if I wrap that in tape, from the actual lead to anywhere it can, its a 998cc on an off road buggy,

is this likely to be a broken lead? The engine still runs fine with this arcing problem, any suggestions what to replace first ?

I would suggest a new lead

Check the turret for signs of cracking or small spider web tracks and put a meter on the leads and see what the resistance is, the tests for the coil and leads is in the FAQs under Electrical
