When that happened to my weedeater it was either us buy a new head or a new weedeater. We went with the new weedeater. That sucks Maybe some type of high heat weather stripping. i don't know that sucks man. Try some high temp silicone on the threads no wear near the head of the pulg but near the end this may work.

Easy suggestions?.....No

there are other types of inserts made specifically for stripped plug holes, so at least you wont need a new head.

Either way you will probably have to remove the head to keep any debris from getting in the chamber.

Dang thats a good invention. The guy who made that is rolling in the cash. I would go that way now. Seems like it would work very well for what you need.
