Vintage Plug Cap

This is my try (just for laughs) to replicate a pic that I always liked

[Tractorman]

I still use a KLG plug cap like that now

Are these worth anything?

I have a few kicking around....

I don't know,I got mine very cheap,almost free.

Sorry that I've only just noticed this, but, although Lambrettas were factory fitted with suppressed plug caps, according to Bell, it's best to use non-suppressed & a fine wire plug with points ignition.

Perhaps that's why mine can be a bit fussy starting

[Dimitrios_231]

I agree,with points ignition,you get a brighter and probably a better spark by using an unsuppressed cap.

A slightly updated pic.

This used to be quite a common modification in the days of road going 'sporting' scooterists. After all, the length of the standard HT lead is preferably reduced.

I can't think why I haven't done it myself, apart from reluctance to drill the frame!

The extra heat this location gives from the cylinder up to the coil perhaps?

Good point
I don't use toolbox,plenty room for air,I don't have any heat issues.
