Methanol can mix with water and can mix with gasoline.  Pour a few cc of
methanol into the cylinder, from the spark plug opening.  Pull the
starter to pump out excess methanol/water mixture.  Repeat this process
for a few times.  Lastly, lubricate the cylinder, use something like
WD-40.  Excess lubricant difficult engine start.  Cannot completely pull
out the water, but the remaining methanol/water mixture can mix with
gasoline and is likely combustible.
