I was cutting the grass and I just moved my scooter. Went on around the house then I found it on its left side!
So like it was somebody hurt, I rushed over and picked it up and stood back up.
Let it sit a minute and tried starting. Started shooting gas out the engine vent, Mine I have a length of fuel line attached with a filter on the end up to where my evap. canister was.
It would start up, but shot out gassy oily fluid.
So I knew what I was going to have to do.
I checked the oil, and sure enough it started a fountain of gas/oil coming out (I had my oil pan under in case). I just changed the gear oil.
I put in my Mobil 1 15,000 mile extended performance oil in. I had extra from my car.
Also I was taking apart the engine Intake, Carb, snorkel and lines anyway.
Got all this done and started up fine. Just was real white smokey opening up the throttle going around the yard.
So I guess I'll need to run it some more miles and then change the oil again to get all the fuel out.
Any other suggestions?
