Last year I noticed that Yacoucci had plastic bags around each one of the spark plug coils (busa mtr.).

I have been asking myself why all year.

Anyone have any ideas?

My guess would be to keep salt & junk from building up around the base so if a spark plug change is done crap doesn't fall down in there.
I wasn't there, I didn't see it, but that's my guess.  afro

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime.  His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.

Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

Thats what I thought and then someone told me that salt was conductive and it was because any salt build up could cause the coils to jump spark.


Thanks for the answer Deb....always made sense but I wasnt sure!
