john deere b manifold question

I've had my 1947 B torn apart for the last few weeks to fix several things such as fan and new rebuild carb etc. I got it reassembled today and started it. It started just fine and ran good. I noticed TINY pieces of black cloth on the hood. I'm afraid to think, that some how a piece of a rag got stuck in the manifold. Either I made a mistake or a mouse.. Who knows at this point?

It seems to run ok, but did back fire once when I was messing with the throttle. So I would like to assume it is a small piece of cloth? If anything of considerable size found its way in it'd probably run like crap right? Any tricks or ideas to remove or check? I really do not want to take it all back apart further than where I was last week. How much damage could this do?

Any input appreciated. I'm very frustrated right now!
 
If you have the muffler on take it off and then see if more stuff blows out ? A cloth if in there should soon burn up I'd think.
 
I would think a rag on the intake side should stop it from running. On the exhaust side it should burn up.
 
That is sort of what I was thinking. But the pieces coming out of the exhast are very small and chewed up a bit which leads me to believe somehow the cloth got into the intake side. I'm a bit worried about how much could be in there.. but, its running ok. And, I'd have to think, if it were very big or a lot in there like you mentioned it'd run like crap.

I guess for the time being I'm going to hope it all burns up and comes out.

Thanks for your replies guys.
