How would I determine the crank case is "full"? Pull the plug and turn it upside down or complete tear down? Assume complete tear down.

Well, take the plug out and let it sit for a day, maybe turn the engine where the piston is at the top and sit it with the muffler down, it may run by the piston and out on the floor (may want to sit it in a catch pan).
Or, don't choke it or give it any throttle. Pull on the recoil a few times then see if the plug is wet. If it is, rotate out a dry plug. Continue doing this until the plug no longer gets wet, it cranks, your arm hurts too much, or you break the rope--I've personally done all 4.
Won't hurt to pull it several times with the plug out either to dry it out--leave the switch OFF so you don't ignite the vapors--got to be careful with them, you can ignite them by accident---that'll mess your shorts up!
