cross threaded spark plug

[Brett Hartwig]

So, I changed all the filters and plugs in my Dixie Chopper lawnmower, but I am afraid I cross threaded a spark plug. It seemed to go in tighter than the other one and isn't as far seated as the other one. Everything starts and runs fine as it did before. Should I get this looked at or just leave it alone since there doesn't seem to be a problem?

I would run it if no problem. Might just be carbon in the threads. If there is a problem, you can get a helicoil kit from most auto parts.
