I have bought a second hand 353 husky and it worked very well for more than a year. Now it has blown the spark plug out of the hole and cannot tighten it back in. It needs a heli coil or perhaps an insert. I am not keen to buy the kit to do the job, $70 but the local chainsaw shops want to dismantle the chainsaw in order to fit the insert. This would cost too much.
What do you suggest? I could buy a new head and fit that. Or there are kits on line that include a 16 mm tap and insert for 14 mm plugs Can these be used without dismantling the motor. How do you keep the metal filings from going intothe Cylinder. Any chance that a compound like muffler putty would hold the sparkplug
