This broke off in my piston chamber when trying to located TDC while setting my valve lash. Off to autozone to buy fishing tool. If that don't work it off with head.

Fortunately I can laugh at myself. Head is coming off. Fishing tool did not work.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Head back on, new spark plugs installed, valve lash set to .005 inch. Purrs like a kitten. Accelerates nicely though dies when throttle quickly pegged. Going to launch in a moment to test run. Will report when I return.
