Before anyone else gets in with the Nelson Muntz HaHa, you have my sympathy.

I've done the same before with bike engines and it's a knut.

At least with them, you can sometime fish it up again with a straightened out clothes hanger.

Best of luck.

I've still got the top of the chain attached to the sprockets, but its slipped off at the bottom, even if it some how jumped back on, i wouldnt know if it was on safely or on the right teeth frown
