Full Version: Need help w/ spark plug wires

So I'm what they call "an idiot". I popped off the spark plug wires from the plugs on a 95 Wildcat and don't remember how they went on. I forgot to mark them and as far as I can tell, there are no markings from either the factory or previous owners. The wires are weird lengths and it isn't very intuitive on which wire goes to which cylinder. I don't have a manual (owner's or shop) and I looked at some online parts diagrams and they don't show it. Is there anyone out there with a Wildcat that could help me out? I believe the ZR's from the early to mid 90's were almost identical so if anyone has a sled fitting that description, you might be able to help me too. Thanks a lot.

Don't matter. They all fire at the same times. Put em on whichever way neatest.

I thought TDC for snowmobile cylinders was exactly opposite.

LH TDC and RH BDC ARE directly opposite- but both plugs still fire at the same time. There is a dead spark in the cylinder with the piston at the bottom. Just try it both ways, you will see that it will work either way.
