Thread: Spark Plug Removal, Resto Project underway

Dismantling has begun, everything is going as planned so far, but....
How do I remove the spark plug if I don't have a spark plug puller tool? I can't seem to get a wrench to fit in there. Thanks! 1970 K0 3spd.

I will post pics of the resto process as soon as things get under way.

Completed on Day 1:
- New Brake Cables, New Brake Handles.
- Removed engine protection frame (cleaned and polished)
- Removed Exhaust (garbage, totally burned through)
- Drained Oil, (looks good, no metal, but oil leaks had been occurring along the gaskets between cylinder and head, and where exhaust bolts to head. Also a little perhaps at carb/intake gasket.
I don't know what the problem was (worn gaskets??) but I'm hoping there will be no more leakage once the 88cc kit is installed with new gaskets etc. Thanks for your help. Tomorrow I hope to get a lot more accomplished.

the ct's came with a tool kit under the seat in a black pouch by the latch catch area.if it's not there,go to a sears or a auto parts store and buy a 5/8 deep socket and a 3/8 drive ratchet handle for the spark plug.be careful not to overtighten the plug on the way in,it's very easy to strip the threads.the best thing to do is buy a metric socket set also 4mm thru 19mm.i suggest new valves and hd springs from dr atv. have some one help you with it.some wood in the dome area and a socket to push down on the springs to remove the valve keepers,was how i removed the valves to put in new ones.it can be done with patience/time.

I bit the bullet and bought a 16mm deep socket at Sears about 33-34 years ago, and I haven't worn the darned thing out yet. I cut a piece of spongy foam the right size, poked a hole in it, and stuffed it into the thing and it will even hold on to the spark plug for me, without being too tight. Good stuff!
