So today has not been a good day, because I was a little intimidated about dismantling a carb I decided to repack my muffler and change the air filter to see how much difference it would make, got both jobs done and tried to start her up, after about 20 kicks I figured I'd fouled the plug so decided to swap it over only to discover coolant on the tip, have since pulled the head and jug off to check the extent of the leak and as far as I can tell I screwed up somewhere because I have a grey slimy mixture coating the piston/conrod/combustion chamber/and down in the crankcase, I'm guessing I had a coolant leak and its mixed with the oil in the fuel, i pulled the drain bolt to let whatever else was in there run out but there is still some sludge on the crank and in the crankcase that I can't reach with a rag, anyone have any idea on how to get it out without splitting the cases? And should I be concerned about the transmission or is that sealed?
