hello there, i am reviving a 440 that has been sitting dormant for a few years, one of the things i did today is pulled all the plugs and shot a little penetrant into each cylinder for good measure before i attemped to turn it over by hand, just incase, when shooting into one of the cylinders, the stupid red straw popped out and blasted into the plug hole. its inside and i cant seem to grab it with a flexible grab tool or anything. question is, if i cant get it, should i pull the head to get it, or since its plastic, leave it and maybe melt out after a few revs? it is in no way a high dollar motor, but i dont want to blow it either, and really dont want to pull it apart, any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks, John

Maybe you can find a small pick-up (grabbing) tool that will fit. I agree that you might not have to try too hard as it will probably just burn out. Much less dammage leaving it alone than if you drop stuff in there. BTW, I would have used Marvel's
