Fuel in cylinder
#1
I accidentally trailered my prairie 5hours with the fuel valve on and upon reaching my destination was rudely left with a flooded hard to start machine. After finally getting the thing going it sputtered and seemed like it may have very well been running on 1 cylinder. after pulling both plugs I discovered the front one was ok, but the back one was so black you couldnt even make out the porcelin. I replaced both plugs (while i was there) and fired it up. I had considerably more power but it still idles rough and sputters on takeoff. Once i get to about half throttle it smoothes out. A fried who had similiar problems took his to the dealer where they claimed to have removed a pint of fuel from his cylinder. Afterwards he says his machine ran like new again. If this is the case is this fuel easy to remove or should I leave it to the dealer?
p.s. I am of moderate to low mechanical skill (but at least I am honest, and I can follow directions well)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
