800 spark plug threads

[S J P]

My 800 LP has one spark plug hole where the threads are shot and leaks. Are these repairable or do I need to find a replacement head.
Thanks Steve

Wonderful thing called heli coil
I have repaired a few that way works really well
If you do it carefully, you don't need to take the head off.
good luck
Kris

I use heli coils but there is what they call a Keensert, it is a solid threaded insert and has a tool that installs it, it has 4 wedges that are driven in with the tool to lock it in place after it is properly positioned, I have never used one but like the idea, go online and research it if you'd like.
