Yes, it was a STUPID mistake. I washed my bike yz 250 ( 2 stroke ) and forgot to take the (rubber wash) plug out of the pro-circuit silencer. I started the bike up for a few seconds until it stalled. In two days I have fouled 4 plugs. No it isn't smoking. The engine oil & level appeared ok. Any ideas?

I've done this a million times and never hurt anything. Could it have broken a reed though due to excessive back pressure?

Probably not. The amount of back preasure it takes to shut down a 2 stroke is pretty low.
