Rust where on the plug? If it's not on the threads or lower, it's probably just water / mud thats got pats the rubber seal. No big deal....I would clean it up, put it back in and ride...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

I'm with Gary on that try to clean it up and give it a shot, and check you oil to see if it looks ok too.

The Rust was built up on the nut portion of the plug. See the problem is my quad is not starting its turning ove but not firing up and i just remembered that when i last washed it water might have gotten into the exhaust pipe...What damage could have that done and where else can water seap through to cause damage. My Hose throws out some high pressure.

if its on the outside of the plug. dont worry about it. if the plug isnt firing, throw it away! and quit with the pressure washer.. simple green in a squirt bottle and a garden hose works just fine.

I put my simple green in a garden sprayer.. man it works great! got the sprayer on sale too!
