Pony won't start

Is that something I can do myself?

Yes it is.

Ok - so I cleaned where the battery cable connects to the frame. It was dirty. However, nothing changed.

When I took out the spark plug and turned the key the spark plug sparked and the engine spun like it wanted to start. However, when I disconnected the spark plug wire to re-insert the plug, the metal connector inside the rubber end broke off on the spark plug.

Now what?

You can buy just a new spark plug wire end. Most auto parts stores or NAPA.

I think he's talking about metal clip on the plug wire not the rubber boot.

Yes the metal clip is replaceable.. I make up my own copper core plug wires because I have all the hardware and wire to do so. I also have made plug wires longer by adding a new peace of wire to the old wire. You just have to seal it up with liquid tape.

You should do how to on that. Especially on removing and installing back on the coil itself. I been replacing the whole coil with used or new.

You don't have to replace the whole cable. Just add a new end on to it.

Its the metal clip inside the rubber boot that connect directly to the spark plug. Can I replace that?

Would an auto parts store sell that?

Even if I get this spark plug issue fixed. I still need to fix what was wrong in the first place. Any ideas?
