Rubber glove into ytm 200 intake

[max6x6]

Hi there,

A rubber glove was not removed from the intake before my stepson replaced the carb on his ytm 200 and the engine was started. We were able to remove most of the glove through the spark plug hole but are not sure if all of it was completely removed.

Any suggestions on how to check inside for to remove any pieces that may be left, or is it even necessary as the pieces may just burn off?

Thank you in advance

If it were my machine with this issue, I would remove the exhaust and the intake and try to blow the pieces out with compressed air or suction with a shop vac.

Maybe even try both at the same time.

One finger, two, or the whole fist?

She took in the whole fist!!!

I gave the Blowing and Sucking a try but nothing came out. We started the bike first pull with the choke on, and it runs with the choke on but makes a strange popping sound and backfires out the carb and stalls out if the choke is shut off. Does it sound like maybe a piece of the glove is stuck in the intake valve seat? The strange popping sound is oddly similar to the sound the glove was making popping out of the sparkplug hole like a little balloon.

I am fairly new to these engines and am unsure of the best and easiest way to check the intake valve seat to see if there is a piece of glove lodged in there. Any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You might try removing the valve inspection caps and blowing with compressed air from that area (around the valve stem).
Maybe try blowing and then have someone pull the recoil slowly to open and close the valves.
Maybe you will get lucky and the pieces of glove will blow out through the exhaust port or spark plug hole.

You've got two options here. Complete disassembly or just send it and see what happens.

What Floyd said.....

You can dick around for hours trying to get every little scrap out, but if you can't piece together the glove completely you'll never know if you got it all.

Pull the head, make sure you got it all out, reassemble and learn from your mistake. DON'T REUSE THE OLD HEAD GASKET!

About the only thing you can do, short of removing the head, is put it at TDC and fill the cylinder with gasoline. Spark plug removed and cylinder cleaned out before trying to start.

It doesn't matter what the glove is made from. None of the store bought gloves will hold up to soaking in gasoline.

If any balled up around the rings or valve seats, a soaking in gasoline will degrade whatever is there to the point it should pass though the exhaust or end up in the oil (not in any appreciable solid form).

Do that and change the oil/filter a couple times without riding it much and that should do all that's possible without disassembly.

Worse things have passed through engines that lived on.
