Problem starting 1970 Merc 20

[Scoots]

Is it possible for a mouse ( or anything else) to obstruct the exhaust on my motor so much as to not allow for proper draw of fuel into the cylinders? I tried starting the motor and fianlly got it to start b ut noticed a wad of debris shoot out the top exhaust ports. What's the best/easiest way to clear this obstruction incase there mat still be some in there??

Thanks!!

Well, that's where the problems lies. It won't stay started. There's gas in the carb but it's apparently not getting into the cylinders.
