Weird Plug problem on 12v v6

[Kneale Brownson]

I have no idea what the O-ring is, Dan, but as for cleaning out the 
plugwell, I spray in some WD40,  let it soak a few minutes,  then blow it 
out with compressed air.  If you place a rag or towel around your hand and 
the airgun, you can minimize the resulting mess.
