Stripped spark plug hole on chainsaw

The spark plug (Champion DJ8J) on my 35+ year old McCullough 3.7ci chain saw won't tighten down because I apparently stripped the threads. I have never used a Helicoil or Timesert and I'm looking for suggestions on how to fix this beast of a saw?
The DJ8J plug has 14mm thread but there are very few of them. I use this saw so infrequently that I usually need a blast of 'starting fluid' to get her running so the plug is removed to spray it in....thus I dont see JBWeld as an option. Do any of you have suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Use a helicoil, and spray the go juice in the carb throat instead of the cylinder. This way you will no longer need to remove the plug.
