Don't lose the bubble gum in there too though. I did that the first time the learned to loop the wire and then ball up the gum (Chick pea sized ball) this keeps the gum on the wire... trident worked well HA HA.

If pieces are small you can turn the engine over with the starter with the plugs out and if your lucky the pieces might come flying out the spark plug hole. (This is very dangerous as the porcelain will do a lot of damage to the cylinder if it rubs.)

Good luck
what about the smoke
