Sparkplug popped out !

[Ty Korrigan]

Strange occurrence on my oldest 2016 MS 261 it didn't just unwind to my knowledge, it was running great but suddenly the sparkplug popped out and saw dead.

I tried red loctite, that lasted until the saw got properly hot again.

Is there anything else I can do to fix the sparkplug in, tap out a wider hole or some permanent metal glue perhaps before consigning it to the parts bin ?

I could do with an old near valueless saw to keep at my wood storage for occasional use.

It's only ever been run on Aspen

On the plus side, I now have a damn good excuse to buy a new saw, been over two years since I did that 

      Cheers

Does this correspond to my needs ?

I often buy supplies from this company in Germany.

Ah yes, I should have read further...

I never found the spark plug on this one… would not like to guess where it went 🫣

Something tells me that a fresh sparkplug might not change it's fortunes overnight...

Clearly not oiling right, you need to focus on your maintenance regime before blaming the lack of a sparkplug for a lacklustre performance... 😂

That was its original bar from one of the first 500i , it’s had two nose sprockets on ..one a few weeks before 3 t of ash pinched and rolled on it popping the saw apart anyway..

I know years back I had 200ts which had the spark plugs helicoiled back in … they never lasted though , I’d just buy a new head or saw.
