Not crazy, its usually filled with dirt or gravel or such. Probably just need to break up the dirt and junk down in the well and blow it out with some air.

^^ this. Get a pick and scrape around the base of the plug.

A shop vac with a narrow tube works great.

Default Are you sure a different plug isn't in there
Champions are 5/8 not 9/16 ,just a thought . One other poster some time back used a hole saw with a long tube on it to break up stuff around the plug. I think he got it on line as it was a long hole saw
