Changed oil and it's def very diluted w.fuel. Ran out quick and was greyish rather than the usual color. Anyway, bike sat over the wkend and things were the same problem:
  • Starter wouldn't turn
  • put in 1st, yanked her around to free up the seizure
  • started fine
Now, here's the concerning part:
Look what the hell I found stuck to the drain plug I don't know carbs and internals too well but looks to me this could be from the carb. Yeah? What is this screw from? And how stupid am I to run the bike before figuring out where it's from?

Despite this having been in the engine for some period of time prior to getting stuck on the magnet I've heard or felt no scary sounding sounds from the engine. In fact today as I warmed it up before oil change she idled and revved fine.
