Bristle brush for cleaning?

Eat a burrito, felt something pierce the back of my throat. My mouth is bleeding and something is currently stuck in the back of my throat but I can’t see it.
Chicken, rice, cheese was on the burrito. Wondering if I ate a piece of bristle or something

Atv doesn’t wanna move

1990 Polaris Trailboss 250 with a CVT, just got it. Owners said it sat outside for years. Got it running but it won’t move. In low it’ll kinda spin the tires but very slowly and like crap. Reverse it tries to but can’t, high does nothing. Is this an issue with the CVT or? I lifted the rear and put it in reverse and floored it and the engine was struggling and I tried pushing the tire and I realized that it’s like stuck, it rolls fine in neutral but it doesn’t like being in gear

Would too much oil cause a 2 stroke not to run

So I did a top end on my 250 Polaris, thing I forgot was that it takes time for the oil injection to clear the air from the lines and everything, I rushed it all and ended up ruining the brand new top end since it ran without oil. So this time I did everything right. Took very careful steps, honed the cylinder (still some marks but I can NOT feel them at all with my finger nail or finger) and tried getting it damn near perfect since I spent all my money on another top end and couldn’t afford a new cylinder. I’m getting somewhere above 100 psi. My compression tester is not accurate and I can’t get it seal right so idk what it is but I need 2 hands just to pull it over now. Ran it with a crap ton of oil in the gas tank since I wasn’t gonna risk it this time, I didn’t have a measuring cup and accidentally poured way more than I should have. Got it to run for about 5 seconds before it bogged and died, couldn’t get it to run after and it backfired and shot smoke everywhere. Still has compression but would that cause it not to run? Way too much oil?

Compression went down after running for 2 minutes

Replaced the cylinder, piston and rings. So much compression it needed 2 hands to pull start, after a minute of running it stopped running and when I went to pull start it it only needed one hand to pull and it still definitely has compression but not as much as it did. I hooked the oil line up correctly and ran it on 40:1 mix in the tank also so it should have had more oil than needed but I wanted to make sure. What do yall think happened?

It won’t start now though, not even on starting fluid. Plug is wet and definitely has spark. It has more compression than it did originally when I got it and it ran fine then so idk what happened

Should I hone a cylinder?

Buying a cheap 250 trailboss, doesn’t sound like it has compression and a top end for one I’d like $60 on eBay, should I hone the cylinder or just throw the new stuff on? Seen some people say not to hone because it’ll destroy the rings or something idk

350k miles and still going

She’s old, I’ve had wheels fall off, I’ve had ball joints blow apart, even been in a few ditches but yk what. No issues with the engine or trans, not one sparkplug has blown out yet. Engine is factory and so is the trans, nothings been done to them except oil changes. I love my old truck
