hey all! i have had my sc400 sitting in the garage for 3 weeks now cause it just wont start, its kicking strongly, but just wont turn on. i've changed my spark plugs and my leads, that still didn't do the trick.. so i tried pulling the leads out one at a time and reconnecting them, and guess what? one of the leads decided to snap!!! the worst thing is, that it is snapped inside the barrel on top of the plug!!! so its stuck in there and its like its jammed around the top of the plug... anybody got any ideas of how i might be able to get that stupid piece of lead out??? any help would be appreciated..

You can buy long nosed pliers and I'm not talking about your average pair. I have seen them with the nose part being about 8 inches long. But not sure if or how much room you have in the plug tube.

Can you make a tool something that has a little bend on the end of it, like a bladed screw driver and bend the tip over at 90 degrees. Push it down below the point of the plug and hook the tip under plug lead and pull up. Just a thought.

Good luck, Kevin

I would have said the same thing. Try to get your self a set of long nose pliers, like 8" plus and I think you should be fine
