IGNITION CABLES (SPARK) - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Description and Operation
The two individual ignition cable assemblies carry the electrical energy output from the
ignition exciter to the engine mounted spark igniters. Each lead assembly consists of an
electrical lead contained in a flexible metal braiding. Coupling nuts at each end of the assembly
facilitate connection to the respective connectors on the ignition exciter and spark igniter.
Mounting flanges for attachment to the engine fireseal mount rings are brazed onto the flexible
braiding.

6. Cleaning/Painting
A. Spark Igniters
CAUTION: DO NOT CLEAN THE NOSE (FIRING) END OF THE IGNITERS. DO NOT
REMOVE CARBON FROM THE ELECTRODES OR FROM ANNULAR GAP
AREAS. CARBON DEPOSITS IN THE GAP AREA ACT AS AN AID IN IGNITER
OPERATION.
(1) Use a felt swab soaked in alcohol (PWC11-014) or (PWC11-031) to clean the inside
surface of the terminal well and contact pin.
(2) Dry using clean, dry compressed air.
B. Ignition Cables
CAUTION: ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, (PWC11-014), IS FLAMMABLE AND HARMFUL TO

EYES AND BREATHING PASSAGES. KEEP AWAY FROM IGNITION
SOURCE. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND USE IN PROPERLY
VENTILATED AREA.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CABLE IN ALCOHOL.
(1) Clean inside of cable terminal with a wood stick (0.050 to 0.060 in. dia.) dampened
with alcohol (PWC11-014).
(2) Spray alcohol (PWC11-014) in terminal to remove any dirt or foreign material.
(3) Dry using clean, dry compressed air.
7. Inspection/Check
A. Spark Igniters
(1) Examine exterior cylindrical area of firing end of igniter shell for chafing wear.
NOTE: Wear is acceptable to a depth of 0.015 inch.
(2) Inspect igniter shell and electrode for erosion (Ref. Fig. 202 and Table 201). If
erosion equals or exceeds amount shown, reject spark igniter.
(3) Check that air cooling holes are clear and unobstructed.
(4) Inspect igniter plug contact pin for erosion/burning. Replace plug if such condition is
apparent.
(5) Positive retention must exists between the igniter pin and the ignition cable
terminal.
(6) Test spark igniters (Ref. 74-00-00, Adjustment/Test).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
SPARK IGNITERS - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Description and Operation (Ref. Fig. 1)
The spark igniters, located at the 4 and 9 o’clock positions on the gas generator case and
adjacent to the fuel manifold, are in the form of a double-ended, threaded plug with a central
positive electrode enclosed in an annular semi-conducting material. The electrical potential
developed by the ignition exciter is applied across the gap between the central conductor and
the igniter shell (ground). As this potential increases, a small current passes across the
semi-conducting material. This current increases until the air between the central conductor
and the shell ionizes. When ionization occurs, high energy discharges between the
electrodes. The spark always occurs somewhere in the annular space between the central
conductor and shell.
