Had a spark plug break off and leave the base in the head. Took a lot of playing around with Easi-outs to remove it. I made up a small piece of plastic tube and sealed it into a vacuum cleaner and sucked out any little pieces that were in the piston, crossed my fingers and fired it up with a new plug in it.
There was this pinging rattling sound as a little piece of spark plug bounced around the cylinder, I gave it a quick rev and blew it out of the exhaust valve, lol.
I hope never again to do that......
