Outstanding Tom, I have glass reinforced plastic barbs for in ground use also, I will give that ago too. Will let you know, brass is great. Epoxy’s have advanced tremendously as long as surface is clean, gently rough or scuff for best adhesion. Great vid, and that Wicker Packer video was awesome! I can say we use to abuse those things! Let out in the elements etc, rough life on those machines. Take care, thanks again.

@@VintageEngineRepairs right. my thought is that since the engine is surrounded with plastic, there's no way to ground the plug and see if it's sparking

I have been looking on Amazon for those barbed/threaded fittings. The sizes are a bit confusing; some images don't match. You show a 10mm hose barb and 1/4" BSP threaded fitting. A smaller hose barb should be just fine, say 1/4" or 5/16". The threaded end??? Is the 1/4" the ID? What is the outside diameter, that is what matters. Also there are NPT threads that should also work. I think that the threaded fittings will be about 2mm bigger on the outside? A number of people commented that they ended up going to their hardware store to get the part they needed, after ordering what they thought was correct online.
@VintageEngineRepairs
@VintageEngineRepairs 5 дней назад
I’d just go to your hardware store and make sure the barb fits your spark plug threaded portion :) saves a lot of guesswork!
@markluxton3402
@markluxton3402 5 дней назад
@@VintageEngineRepairs I will try. I will take a couple burnt out plugs apart to measure better. The shelves in my local hardware store have limited choices, and usually higher prices. I think you used a 1/4 inch threaded fitting, inside diameter. I'll have to try a larger hardware store in a nearby town, if I go there. It is a 12 mile drive for me to go to the smaller closer hardware store, so ordering a part is many times easier, and cheaper. I am awaiting now various parts for my chainsaws, and other engines, ordered online, Cutter's Choice! and Amazon

@@VintageEngineRepairs I took apart and finished nicely a dead CJ8 spark plug. I could have used a lawnmower plug but that reaches in further, and most of what I will need to do, is a pressure or vacuum test on saws that take a CJ8. I measured so I don't have to drive 45 minutes each way to hopefully find the correct part. I think I have found suitable parts on line. Ordering soonish. The inside of the former spark plug measures 15mm. Most threaded brass ends are about a mm thick. A 10mm NPT or other thread end, measured inside, plus 2mm each side, is 12mm, leaving 3mm room for glue. I am going to try getting 1/4 inch hose barb, and 1/4" threaded end(or slightly larger). Am I missing something? Let me know. I don't have a vacuum tool as yet, but do have a carb. pressure tool, so can do half a pressure test when I get this fitting made ;-) Permatex makes a metal glue that looks like it will work as well. Damn, just realized I have spare fittings from my compressor. They may fit LOL and, they were poorly made anyway. How this did not already think of this????

More difficult than shown. Cut off SP end like described, but it’s solid stuck tight, cut off more of the end further over the bolt part. Still not enough, banged hard and a lot with a metal punch both sides of inner rod. Not much left to glue in BSB. He didn’t show it coming out in video, the hardest part of all. Took a good hour just for that part.
