My '87 Exiter 570 just siphoned all the gas out of the tank and filled the engine. I know this was common on older Yammies, but I cannot find info on how to get all the gas out. I pulled the plugs & pipe and can pull the cord and get a bunch of gas pouring and spraying out, but she still has so much inside, plugs get wet after it sputters trying to start it. Short of flipping it upside down, is there a technique to get the gas out or do I have to try to start/pull plugs/torch dry plugs and do that 200 times? Is there a case drain plug or anything like a Jet Ski has? HELP! I know typing takes awhile, so if you want to discuss, I'm at 815 690-9182. Thanks!

KEEP everything pulled, but you might want to unhook the wires to the coil so there is NO spark. then turn the sled over and pull the engine over a bunch of times. YES I know if you have it shut off it should NOT have sperk but is it worth the chance.
