Stripped spark plug hole...

[MIwarrior]

So after replacing my sparkplug bike was running choppy so I decide to gap it. A few more days later same problem, I took the plug out to check it re- gapped it and tried to put it back in no dice... I kept twisting and turning no luck So is there a way to fix this should I try a different plug(autolite 63 now) or am I SOL with that motor.
I got the week off from work so now a good time for stuff like this to happen or itll never get done, but any advice or help would be much appreciated.

sounds like you need to buy a new head...what type of motor is it?

pull the head and hava a heili coil installed. (new threads) auto motive places can do it. you will have to bring your spark plug with you.

I got the clone... the previous owner left It outside al winter rain sleet and snow so I'm not surprised this happened.

I have a feeling this is the 1st of many problems I seen the HF 6.5 and it looks the same So I was thinking of giving that puppy a try.

HF is a good motor for the buck. Right now you can get them for 99 dollars with coupon.

Helicoil is a great way to solve this problem.
