Someone's been in there before. Wrong plug to begin with and probably not tightened down (seal washer doesn't look crashed)…

If this is what the spark plug looks like, what does the spark plug space look like in the cylinder head.

Maybe they have tried to clean f*cked up sparkplug threads with such a homemade tool (might even work) but then didn't dare turning it that back out?

I find it hard to believe that came out of a LX 150. Who puts Autolite spark plugs in a Vespa?
