Default Engine advice: Should I tear it down??



Well, here's the short story.. I ran the buggy in some sand today.. I cleaned it off pretty good when done, but later in the evening Iwas messing around and decided toclean down in the head, around the glow plug.. After a fewpulls with a q-tip, Inotice the air cleaner is off, and as luck would have it, the throttle linkage (which I pulled off the servo earlier)had the carb wide open.. It's doubtfull, but a grain of sand could of possibly made it into the carb when I was messin around with the q-tip.. What should I do?Now, Im mechanically inclined, but if it aint got 8 cylinders, a holly carb,and a bowtie emblem on the valve covers, Im not that familiar with it... Any way to flush it out w/o tearing it all down?Thanks for any info or advice!</p>
