Hello all,
Could someone please explain what are the 2 items I’ve marked.
Don’t have either on my WNG and was wondering if I need them.
Many thanks.

Re: What is this?
The sleeve on the HT lead is (I think) just there to insulate it from the heat of the cylinder head.
The other thing (blue arrow) is a bit of a mystery . . . But there used to be a "Spark Enhancer" sold back in the 50s/60s that added a gap which was supposed to increase the high tension charge and give a bigger spark (!).
On the other hand it could be a suppressor to prevent radio interference - which is a No-No with a magneto.
I don't think you'd miss it .

HI on a bike or car with a mag DO NOT USE suppressed leeds or plug cap or a resistance spark plug or spark booster it will nacker your mag just use copper leeds and a non resistance plug cap and plug with no R in the letters or numbers on the spark plug and you will be ok
