What would cause the cap to get severly burnt inside the high tension cord plug area? I tried to get pics but my camera is louzy. When I removed the High Tension cord I had "ash" left inside the cap. upon inspection it's severly burnt.

Cap and cord have less than 3000 miles on them.

Name that failure.

Thanks

what is a high tension cord plug ... i never heard of it

Mebbe it's the coil wire?

High Tension cord goes from the cap to teh coil/ignitor.

When I said the "plug" I'm talking about the actual plug this cord connects to on the cap side.

sounds like possibly a bad/dirty connection causing it to arc across.

my guess too. loose connections also can cause misfiring.
clean em up and reinstall and see if it happens again. could also be a faulty component.
