for a future heads up. If you know its bad. You should not poke it with your finger. Why not wash it out with a hose?

Re: What do i do?

First use a vacuum. Second, a water hose with plenty of pressure. Use the water hose on the opposite side of the nest. If both holes have nests, well use the hose on the smallest nest. Use a long welding rod to break up the nest.

Use a priming tool to oil the engine.
