plug cap repair failure.
04/21/07 at 13:30:47
I repaired the plug cap on my 01 savage a few weeks back and looks like it started again. Ive put 600 or so miles on the bike since I did the repair. I suspect my problem was between the seat and the handlebars. Anyone else have a failure after the fix??

Drat...
Did you clean it real good and put a little goop on the plug too?
It was the newer style plug wasn't it? It is solid not hollow.
I thought the problem was between the tank and the footpegs

Are you sure it's there?
Mine has been leaking, but I have another leak as well.
Either it's the rocker arm shaft or the head cover right above the spark plug.

I am not sure its the plug cap but it mimics the same leak I fixed. I figure I will ride it for a few weeks and see whats wrong. The plug cap I installed did not have the recess that gregs appears to have. I had been runing the LS rather hard, since I took a little highway ride on I-10 and did 80mph for a few hours. usually it serves as a commuter in the city.

That is the newer version, I thought. Did they change the plug again?
Running hard shouldn't change anything.

Mine started leaking at 2000 miles on the OD, has been steady since. Doesn't loose enough to make a difference in the crankcase level, so I'm not going to mess with it......brings back memories of some of my first cycles
Oh, and a Briggs and Stratton mini-bike, too!

I did my plug cap a few weeks ago and the plug looked just like greg's pic. The older version has a deep well in it that will fill with oil.
here is the part number at Ron ayers I used, 11145-41B01.
I think that the one you used might be the old one, Not sure.

does it really matter if you use old or new ?
my thinking was that the permatex dried up or wasn't applied properly on the old ones from the factory.

My new one looks just like greg's too. So did the old one and it did have black rtv all about it. and since it was leaking, that's not the stuff to use.

Just seems strange that it would start again after fixing it several weeks back. I am curious as to what I did wrong or if the plug cap was faulty.
