engine finished?

[sam93]

My bike wouldnt start on the weekend the carbie was playing games with me, so i fixed it and tryed to start and it wouldnt so i started unscrewing the plug and snap it broke in half so half of its inside the engine and i cant get it out. Is my engine toast?

 

[corey58]

get a photo up to see how much is poking out, you could take the head off and also try unscrew it that way . few options before its toast

 

[sam93]

Alright ill try get pics up soon just hard with a iphone...

 

[mattbombers]

when you say inside, you mean in the thread right or in the bore? other way should be ok to get out pretty simply.
get pics mate

 

[DvDRip]

u should be able to grab it with pliers or drill a hole so u can get some grip,
otherwise just pull the head off and unscrew it from the inside, should get plenty grip from the other side

 

[sean01]

yep, id advise to pull the head off.
drilling a hole in it will more than likely cause the porcelain to break off in to the bore and not to mention the metal filings from drilling

 

[china boy788]

happen to me,

head off and take unscrew it out, and clean any smaller broken bits from inside the bore

Its weird just the thread and the spark arm is left on it (the arm that the spark earths to) dunno what its called so its just the thread and the arm. :S i cbf taking off the whole head first ill try to make a notch in it with a flat head screw driver but if the metal is to dense ill take it off and give a go at some of the suggestions...


Was just so weird like it didnt even hhave that much pressure on it...

Ill get pics up when im at dads some reason photobucket doesnt want to work on my computer

 

[DvDRip]

sparkplugs are ceramic, which means they real fragile

 

[sam93]

Yeah i know but its the metal thread that went not the ceramic

[china boy788]

take of head off and screw it out from the inside, and clean out any smaller bits that snaped off as well

 

[sam93]

How would i screw it out? with the spark arm with needle nose or something? or just jam a flat had screw driver next to the arm?

 

[china boy788]

yer some thing like that? or even circlip plier from the out side,

 

[wogtaz ryder]

easy out...

 

[sam93]

Someone told me about that woggy. what is it? how much?

 

[sam93]

Sparkplug is out, Got a small flat head screw driver and put it in just twisted it 2 turns then put my finger on it to finish the job. was very easy i dont understand why the plug snapped their was no force on it. it must have been remvoing it the first time because it was super tight from factory. and good to see it was a clean break (no metal and crap in my head)
