well carbs are done..... so i started changing the plugs and one of the wire coil came off.
been looking at plug wires bunch of different kinds for my 175...blue, grey and black.

If you have the 60° engine with the optical ignition then it requires the grey inductive spark plug wires. CDI sell them as a set, or you can get them one at a time from BRP.

The early 60° engines came with black wires but were supposed to be updated to the grey ones which a lot of them didnt get.

diffence from blue to grey or black? was lookin at the blue CDI brand.
i set i have is black on there now

blue and black i believe the only difference is the color. The grey are inductive spark plug wires which reduces the EMI produced by the coils and spark plugs helping improve the reliability of the power pack.

Ebay has them and they say 60 deg but doesn't say optical
