Follow-up on the engine with bad spark-plug threads that you were good
enough to advice me on a couple months ago .

This was meant for another group, alt.home.repair. But I'm going
to think that most guys who fix electronics also fix their lawn mowers
when they need it.

Yep, I started out fixing things with lawnmowers, remarkably simple and
robust machines. In your case I would have replaced the cylinder head
though, usually a mower shop will have a whole pile of scrapped stuff and
would be happy to sell you a good used part.

Thanks for the suggestion. This was a 6 or 6.5 HP Craftsman engine,
and I don't think they've been making that for more than a few years
(so they're still new), or selling that many. I don't think I could
find one in the time I had available. (winter was coming.)
