I just acquired a saw with a cylinder that had had the spark plugs repaired with a Sav-A-Thread at some point in it's life and now that has been stripped out (previous owner must love to wrench that plug in!). I assume that means the cylinder is shot, but I would love to be proven wrong! I've never ceased to be amazed with some of the tricks & tips you guys have tucked away.
So, is there any way to make a quality repair in this scenario? I believe I've heard of welding a stripped hole shut and re-tapping it. It's an MS460 though, nothing rare or hard to replace, so I don't think it would be worth the cost and/or trouble of making that happen. Anything else?
Thanks!
