[QUOTE="Blue'87GT, post: 1232423, member: 80786"] All, I moved this from another spot on this forum--looks like I first posted in the wrong section. I'm new to motorcycles, and have a recently acquired a 1990 Yamaha RT100. It's been having starting problems lately, but I got it for free-how do I complain--right? My right leg is getting much stronger with the 75 kicks to get it going. Anyways after doing some reading on here (reeds(?), plug, top end, etc) I wanted to check the plug to see what its condition is after the 6-8 rides I have made. When I got it, the plug was new, filter was mint, and oil looked crystal clear. I drained the gas tank, and put fresh fuel into it as well. Today I pulled the crankcase oil dipstick to check the condition of the oil------and gas poured out! A bunch of it was just flowing out!!!!! I'm mechanically inclined (trucks/cars), so I'm no fool, but I've never seen this before. What's this mean? I'm still in the process of getting a manual. Since then I have drained the crankcase, drained the fuel tank, pulled and cleaned the spark plug (wet and fouled). I have left the crankcase drain plug out, as gas is still dripping. The gas from the crank case was gray. I kicked it over quite a few times with the spark plug, and drain plug out to try to get more gas out. I did some more searching on this site, and found that I am supposed to turn off the gas petcock, which I did not, but this bike only sat for a week. Please help this new guy out! [/QUOTE]
