GK73A HELP ENGINE OIL MIXED WITH PETROL

Post by hellsnomad »

Dear all,
this weekend i went for a spin and I couldnt start the bike, so i forced it went for a very small ride, and back to the garage couse something was wrong...

Dismantling the clutch cover gasket section I found oil full of petrol!

So i took all the oil/petrol out of the engine and left it open all night.

The next day i bought new oil, put oil back, went to start but nothing....

Connected bike with another battery - eliminating to see if battery is flat; engine wont start.

Put bike on 6th, trying to move it...JAMMED!

Uninstalled spark plugs to check if any petrol is in between the pistons and spark plugs...

Bike dead....

Can anyone help a next step???
tnx

You need to first find out why its locked- starter motor or fuel.
Try taking the petrol pipe off the tank to see if the tap is leaking, if so then you will also need to find out which of the flaot valves is not sealing.
In the mean time remove the plugs to allow any fuel to evapourate.
