[QUOTE="wardd, post: 193509, member: 19538"]
Just stripped the bike down again last night.  After removing the cylinder, I flipped the bike completely upside down and slowly raised and lowered the crank.   About 1/2 pint came out.  Also drained about 1/2 pint from inside the header pipe, most likely from kicking it over and over.

Cleaned everything, since reeds, power valves, etc...  were all covered in coolant.  Flipped bike back and sprayed wd40 in crank area to help lube and displace any water residue left behind.  I think I should have it now.  I'll use some two stoke oil as well.  Good suggestion!

The coolant in case was not due to a leaking gasket, just my stupidity:eek: .  Make sure coolant is COMPLETELY drained before removing top end.

I'm drying out the new base gasket, since it was wet with coolant as well.  Since the bike has not been started with the new gaskets, I'm hoping they will be ok.  Will get her all back together tonight and try to fire her up again.

Thanks...
Wardd.
