RE: HELP = I cranked the motor and dropped an insulator nut down the intake side - HELP
Why the hell would you even crank the engine knowing that your dropped the nut in the first place?
For the sake of $1.50 magnet on a stick from super cheap you could have retrieved the nut.
I understand that either you wanted to give cleaning carbs a go yourself or saving money, but you just cost yourself anywhere from $600-$1,000 to fix this situation.
FYI it would have cost you around $250 for a proper carby clean, new 0-rings and balance from a shop.
2. Might be an option, can't comment on that yet.
3. I can help you fix the problem, but it depends on your location as I have my own motorcycle workshop in Wollongong. (I do have a bike trailer and I can pick up)

1. You would have to be the luckiest person alive if you could just remove the offending nut. More than likely it has jammed between the valave an the valve seat destroying head and piston.
