Hello all! I've lurked here for a while, and have decided to come into the light and share some woes with you all in the desperate hopes that someone can help.
The situation is I just took my 1995 600cc kat out of storage to get going on some nice spring crusing. Tried to start it up and no go. So I changed the gas, and still wouldn't start. The thing cranks, and gets power flowing through, but won't start. So I called up my buddy naskie18 from this forum and he and I started taking the thing apart to get a the spark plugs, went down with a 18mm sparkplug socket and it wouldnt grip on the bolt. So I went and ordered the motion pro 18mm deep/thin socket thinking it was a width issue with the socket. I just got it today, dropped it into the hole and tried as I might, still couldn't get the thing to grip on there. At this point I'm thinking that either I can't operate a damn socket wrench, or there is something seriously wrong with the sparkplugs. I'm lookin for input on what to do next with my kat, I am most definitely trying to avoid dropping it off at a shop, so any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks!
