Was cleaning the throttle body, used a stick that was swallowed in. Tried to get it back but pushed it further. I think it fell in the manifold.
How do i extract it?

Pour a bottle of seafoam into throttle body wait for the stick to soak some up and soften then rev the engine the stick will break apart and get sucked through the valves which will also clean them. If that doesnt work you may have to remove manifold. This is why I only use high grit sand paper to clean my throttle body.

Fill your engine with water, the stick will float to the top.

yikes, have you ever tried that?

I went through the pain of forgetting to remove the rag I used to plug up the intake before I bolted the carb back on. It did not sound healthy and the engine didn't survive.
