How do you remove the spark plug spout thing?

Post by Rob Furniss »

There's some tape stuck to the inside of the wall where the spark plug resides on the rear bank middle cylinder and I need to get it out.
It's there because somebody repaired a split/broken HT lead with tape instead of replacing and we had an overheat situation the other day and it's all melted to the inside.

So i'm thinking we need to take the spark plug spout/hole thing out to clear it so anyone know how we do this or got any other ideas as to how we get it out?
It's not a head off job is it?

I'd just run a quick drill hone through it. Yeah it'll drop sh*t into the cylinder, but if it's just tape, it'll burn out.

Maybe jam a bit of rag down there before you do.
