I used a coat hanger and a piece of chewed gum to grab the largest part of it. What is still gone is probably about 10 mm^2 worth of little plastic pieces. My father thought it a good idea to hook up a vacuum cleaner to the crank vent and we did that for a minute or so; heard something small get picked up but we also picked up a lot of oil
Hopefully that worked. Will start and see. Thanks for fast response
