You wanting to pretend you’re riding a Harley?

Not exactly great for it, but if you ride easy it should be ok.

I rode mine 40 miles to work and 60 miles home once when a spark plug went bad. Just don't push it too hard.

I'd guess it depends on what the rear carb is actually doing. If it's not feeding fuel (dry spark plug), it will do less harm, if any, than if it is so rich it can't fire (wet spark plug). If the plug is wet, then so is the piston and rings, washing the oil into the crankcase. If it's because the float doesn't, you can put a small sponge under the float, to keep the valve closed.

so pulled off the boot to the rear carb and saw it was leaking out from there. so I sprayed carb cleaner into the opening while the engine was running. bike runs a lot better now
