Spark plug issue
Posted: 22 May 2015, 13:01
Hi all,
Please bare with me. I'm not a mechanic. Just keen to do as much myself as possible.
Today I tackled the so called easy stuff. Air filter change. No problem. Dizzy cap. No problem. Hat Leads. No proble. Rotor arm. Couldn't shift??? But it was the spark plugs that had me. Three came out and were replaced no problem. But the one closest and to the right was a bugger. First of all buried in the tinware. Then after half a hour of trying to get the new one in realised the one I took out had a smaller thread???? Am I being stupid? This isn't normal is it? Does this mean someone has threaded it in the past and done a repair???
Anyway I put the old plug back in for now. Any suggestions welcome.
Cheers
