How do I attach the broken end of the spark plug to the head of a spark plug?

1. CivicGuy Says: I am mounting an engine to my bicycle through a kit, and some of the parts are pretty cheap. The plastic head on the spark plug wire is completely broken, and I don't want to go buy another spark plug AND crimping kit from NGK for $28 for a little side project. That's a little ridiculous, so if I can do something a little bit more cheaply, even if it doesn't look good and isn't as effective, I will do it. I just need an alternative that will get my spark plug sparking from my broken wire. Thanks for all your responses, any input is amazing.

If it doesn't work you can try cutting up a can, rolling it into a tube, affix with electrical tape or liquid solder, and using that as a replacement to hold onto the plug. Used beer cans come in handy more than many would believe...it's good to keep a couple laying around just in case. Just don't use anything that's going to melt or burn when heated or running electricity through it.

If it's just the spark plug i'd suggest finding out the exact plug and getting one from autozone for 3-6 bucks. If it truly is plastic then disreguard my answer.

4. Nick Says: don't waste your time get a new spark plug from autozone or napa parts or whatever

there is alot of heat around the cylinder head and it will melt any adhesive you put there

5. Andy Says: Go to a junk yard and get a rubber plug boot off an old spark plug wire.If the plug is broke too get a new one.
