Posts: 227What are the ignition leads shields for on the 304? Are they just for heat protection?
I got some new leads which didn’t come with the shields, and I noticed that I am missing three shields anyway.

I carnt figger out what there for
If it’s shielding it from spark then the leads are shit so change them as they shouldn’t throw spark out anywhere
Carnt be a heat shield as they will just absorb heat from the extractors and hold it there

Posts: 227Will get a photo… Yes when you pull the ignition lead off the spark plug there are these metal cylinders with a spring on the end. Don’t get what they are meant to do – something that carries a ton of spark doesn’t really need some conducting metal around it to potentially give you a buzz.

Just a little heat shield. I don’t think it will kill u if u do or don’t have them.
