I don't want to spend the money on a pipe right now, but i see my spark arrester is plugged. there are no bolts to remove and clean. any body have suggestions and or pictures? thanks.

IMO just run it, i never cleaned mine unless i had some spare time and never hurt anything.

what i usually do is run it for a while, then take the plug out of the bottom and then start it up, put my hand over the exhaust pipe(put a glove on or use many rags) and at the same time rev the engine, and u should see some soot come out.
