Default Spark plug fouling...
Can't remove plug #1 because of excessive carbon buildup. How the heck can I disolve that crap safely? :-(

Default wtf? liek tis stuck in the head and wont un screw? or there is junk down on top of the plug that
is block u form geting the socket onto the plug? wow.....

i hope ur motor dosnt run so badly the plus has built up a monster depost inside the cylinder causing issues w/ the plug coming out. iv never had a motor w/ that much build up.

i have had some that were jsut super unhappy do to hwat ever...... usuly i can crack them loose and hit em w/ a spritz of PB blaster........ let it sit (bout 1 beer-0-time) and out they come....

Yes plug is stuck in the head and can't remove because of that nasty gunk. Socket won't fit squarely. PB Blaster would be safe to use to loosen that crap up? grrrrrr!!!

Turn over and shake smartly. Debris should fall out.

Default Just curious >>
How old are those plugs? When was the last time you checked them? What do the other 3 look like?

No,That won't work. The plug is still in the block. The gunk is so thick the plug can't be pulled.
