    I left the petcock on reserve last fall and the fuel filled the engine. What is the best way to clear it out. I kicked it over about a dozen kicks before I realized it was full and fuel was running out of exaust port. I pulled the plug and put it in gear and pushed it back and forth till gas quit blowing out of plug hole. My question is will the gas in the bottom end clear out if it starts? Hope someone can give advice. Thanks

    I would probaby take the pipe off and the plug out and spin it over plenty with a power drill . or just run around pushing it in gear . kicking it won't really stir it up enough . it should start after you've blown most of it out

    I pushed it up and the drive in 1st gear with the plug out, I think I got most of the gas out. Left the plug out will put fresh plug in in the morning and try it. Thanks
