ok, that's done. pretty simple, i just used some needle nose and carefully worked the plug out. no sweat. it was only an eighth of a turn from wide open so i went all the way closed and then back 1.5 turns. it idled well. put it in drive and made it halfway around the house before bogging down and dead. started after about a minute and drove it the rest of the way around the house and it died again. it feels like a fuel/air problem at this point. i still need to check valve clearances, and i might as well replace the coil and plug wire.
