Anyway, there's a 'spark suppressor' screen in the exhaust port. I
hit it with a propane torch. That ignites the wet stuff. After that
burns off, just brush the residue out, and good to go.

I would caution doing this...with fumes and mix in the crankcase? Not a good idea! *L*


Do I need to say, "after taking it out"? OK: AFTER TAKING IT OUT.


Yes, and you would need to say, "take the screen out first..." because someone might think you meant take the fuel out...which would leave fumes to explode. Sorry you took a caution as a criticism.


A momentary overreaction.
