My story starts off with a stator bolting coming loose and smacking around freely in the crankcase. (see picture posted) IMG_0817.jpg Then to add icing to the cake...Bad weather bring down a tree on top of my little work shop and takes out 1 spark plug and temp sensor (see picture posted) IMG_0877.jpg (Yes the engine was on the table)
Total damage done .... 1 bolt = stator / pulse coil / flywheel / recoil part
Bad Weather = 1 spark plug / 1 temp sensor

--------Any Ideas on how to remove the little threaded brass insert ?

drill a small hole in the center and insert an "Easy Out" should just back out.

good luck.

The insert is hollow minus the thin covering at the end of it ... I've applied jb weld and a bolt...hopefully it works
