Yamaha YT 125 Question

[KennyH]

The needle stuck OPEN in my carb and leaked gas down into the crankcase and filled it up so the motor hydraulically locked. I took the plug out and roped it over to get most of the fuel out but after a week it still has fuel in the crankcase. Is there a plug on the bottom side I can remove to drain out what gas may be left in the bottom?
Thanks!

If there was enough gasoline in the engine to actually hydro lock it, i would go as far as pulling the plug, make sure the piston is at the bottom of the stroke, flip the bike upside down and let the gas run out of the plug hole. After the most of it is out, pull the rope a few times in case the piston collected some inside.

The other option is to pull the plug then pull the rope a few hundred times. After the majority is out, you should be able to put the plug in and pull it until it fires and burns off the rest. Youll have a ton of smoke when it fires up. The gas evaporates leaving a ton of oil.

Take your plastic off before you flip it, eh!

Thanks!!!! I just thought that maybe there was a plug in it somewhere like a sled motor that can be pulled out! Six stroke, the plastic is off! ;-)

Gonna take it up to Smoky Hills when it runs?
