It's a tough one but maybe you could use a coat hanger and attach some duct tape to it with a sticky side out and fish the straw out? One layer sticky side down and overlap it with the layer sticky side out and roll it under at the end. I think it would not be too thick to fit thru the plug hole and should be safe enough it won't fall off? Can you see the straw with a flash light?

I had to remove this little wooden partition in the bilge, then doing a headstand, I could see the spark plug hole... (Thru the hole is the little fiberoptic light thingy.) 7401419-straw.JPG (146 downloads) If it aint broke, dont break it.

(?at piston top or in a closing valve?) So just for more drama it came out in two pieces. Mission accomplished. Is oiling each cylinder even helpful after a thorough fogging thru carb?

For years, I've just run the motors while I spray fogger into the carb until they choke out. Never pulled the plugs to fog the cylinders seperately. I've never had an issue.
