Briggs and Stratton OHV - Stripped Spark Plug

   / Briggs and Stratton OHV - Stripped Spark Plug #11  
There's an outside chance the spark plug had defect and was putting out a weak spark and causing the poor performance...also why it broke like it did ??

Hope this thread does no go on like the "rounded off drain plug" thread......

Only problem I have had with any B&S's are the stupid neoprene (rubber?) "O" ring they use for a needle seat in carb swelling up and not letting any fuel in... GRRRRR..... 20 cent part and our billion dollar alcohol fuel program screws it up........

12 posts in a only a short while... it could!

Actually - that would be bad. This motor is not worth too much effort. Just a good try before replacement.

I'm lost!

The title says it's a "stripped spark plug", now it sounds like it's not stripped at all!!

I don't know how anyone is suppose to properly answer something so confusing?

By reading the OP's description would be a good start. It took me a couple of reads but then figured it out.

Change "striped" for "broken" and it reads fine.... Yeah my first though was threads in head were toast....

Sorry - for some reason it was in my head as a "stripped" plug when I wrote it. But its not, its broken at the threads, even with the head.

I'd take a propane torch, heat the plug, let it cool and turn it out. Get it fairly hot...
