JArmShee Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 There is a long hillarious drawn out story that Causes me to ask that question. But instead of boring all of you and Making myself look alike an idiot, Ill just ask the question. Is there a way to drain fluid out of the case under the pistons and jugs.

fastcar01 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes there is a drain plug on the bottom of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshdog Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Not sure.... When I rebuilt my bike I tipped it up on its nose and flushed it out. If there is a drain up front, I guess i did alot of extra work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i12gofast Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes there is a drain plug on the bottom of the engine. 520610[/snapback] surveyyyyyy says! X Thats the oil drain plug, he means the front half of the case. Banshdog, we are on the same page, we flipped her on her back and blew it out with compressed air. NO DRAIN PLUG.

locogato11283 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 you guys are funny. if you dont know that there is NO drain plug under the crank part of the motor you need to get a book and study. and what would you drain anyway? the only drai plug is for the tranny and clutch components, which is totally seperate from the crank. so the answer to your question is NO, there is no way to drain something from the crank part of the motor...if something is in there, pull the jugs and tip the motor outside down...

Animalman294 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 The lubrication comes from the oil you put into the gas, you do mix your gas right........ . Again Loco is totally correct, (damn-it) The only oil is the tranny and the plug is on the bottom of the case............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 well shit. what are them oil drains on the sides of the cylinders? and why does it come out green? duur duur duur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar01 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I guess I understood the question wrong. But you know what I find to be an easy way to get the coolant out of the crankcase is to use a coolant tester (bulb style) or even a turkey baster and suck what you can out with that. When you get it as low as you can, take a rag or paper towel (if using paper, use a good quality one) and just put it in a little ball and sick it in there then turn the crank slowely. When it gets to the bottom, let it sit there for a minute to suck it up. Do this a few times, then when you get as much out as you can, put a blow gun in there and dry it real good. Now it may not be necessary, but after getting coolant out of the case I always pour a little oil (same brand/type you normally run in the gas) on the rod bearing and spin it a few times slowley. Tipping the machine over would work, but you are going to drain all the coolant out and you may not want to do that, but even so after you do that I would still blow gun it a bit and re-oil.

Burble burble BANG, i think was the last thing it said....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar01 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I think I might just flip it over and spray it good with carb or brake cleaner, then dry, then oil it. Unless its too late, sounds like it may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsol67 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 fastcar01 has the right idea. Thats how i did mine. I was an ediot and put grear oil in mine thinking it went to the tranny as well. I used a turkey baster and got most if it out them a paper towel with a stick to sock the rest out. I was also hoping to flush out and pieces of the piston that broke in it.

89Steeda Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 When we are riding across the lakes here in our dunes and dump it(motorcycles). We just drag it to shore, flip it over and crank the engine over to get the water out. Your case, I would pull the carbs and reeds and flip it on its ass.
