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 |

Just looked all over the city, no one seems to have the telescoping magnet thing in stock.
Just bought one on eBay, flexible type, but that will take at least 10 days to reach me in Sri Lanka. In the meantime will try to borrow one from a friendly workshop, hopefully. Good lesson learnt, about being hasty and careless. Thanks for the input guys. |

I have used one of those retractable claw thingys
similar to this: (IMG:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/313c2efJU4L._AA280_.jpg) you push the thumb button and out comes a claw at the other end. |
