Wouldn’t the reed plate prevent the rag from getting into the crankcase?

Don’t feel bad as I always stick a paper towel up the exhaust when storing a powerhead. On one motor after a rebuild, I noticed the water wasn’t coming out the exhaust relief very well. After a little while it cleared itself out but then I noticed all this shredded paper towel in the test drum water. Yup, forgot to remove the paper towel and now it had to come all apart again to make sure the water passages were clear.
