Is it okay to use an adapter to change a three pin plug into a two pin plug?
No, it is not ok, it is potentially very dangerous because the two-wire cable has no earth with it. The earth wire is an important safety component that comes with a three-pin plug. An exception can be made for certain low-power appliances that have double insulation. This includes TV sets, radios, and table lights provided the mounting is plastic and not metal. These appliances are commonly sold with a twin-wire cable but often with a three-pin plug on the end of it. The three-pin plug in this case often has a plastic 'earth' pin and it is safe to replace it with a two-pin plug.
3 wire to 2 wire plug?
You get a two wire plug!! You should never try to skip connecting the ground wire, the soul purpose of the ground is to create safety for you and others around you. the problem is that someone may assume that the ground is part of the wire since the plug is a three wire!! \You will have to skip the ground terminal on the plug. Usually plug has a green screw or wire, ground pin is longer than two other and round in shape.
How do you convert a two pin plug to a three pin plug?
You don't, in theory, because the ground wire is missing. But if you must, cut the end of and add the new three pin plug, the two flat pins are for the two wires, the round is for the ground that is missing. If something has only two wires,say a light fixture, adding a plug that has the three is useless because the ground wire is missing, so it does not become safer just because you added it. If the end is bad,then you get a plug end that comes apart and is made for adding to a wire, do not cut wire,add another plug end by splicing it together with electric tape.

What order do you put new spark plug leads back in?
There is no specific order that you have to follow to replace the spark plug wires. My advice is to replace each wire one at a time in order to not get confused which is easy to do. Just remove one wire, get a new wire the same length and replace that wire. Then move to the next wire.

If it is the same plug every time, I would say the plug or wire is grounding out some where. Try replacing the plug the the wire.

The green wire is for ground. You can attach that to any metal part of the frame. The red is the active and coincides with the lefthand prong into the plug and the black in this case should be the Neutral and ciocides with the right prong into the plug as seen standing behind the plug.

You need to start by checking to make sure that you have to right wires. Make sure that you tak one wire of at a time so that you don't lose the firing order. Take the new plug wire and match it up with the old plug wire of the same length. and plug it in. Finish the other three and you got it.
