Was in a hurry to fit a new set of plugs, and manged to drop one plug.
Now its somewhere on top of the LH Head, out of sight and reach. Can't seem to get at it through the spark plug opening on the cooling shroud. Havn't tried yet, but is there any chance of retrieving it from underneath ? Hoping i won't have to remove the shroud to get at it... Any and all advice will be most welcome... Thanks |
