Default coolant question .....oops!

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]Anyone advise me; I noticed the collant level a little below the min. line on the overflow tank so being in a rush and lazy, instead of removing the side panel for easy acsess, I just stuck a long funnel thru the slots and ended up over filling the tank right to the top. Will it just puke out the overflow cap venthole when it warms up or should I try and siphon some out to bring it down to normal range??? Thank for any replies

Yes. Other than being messy, all will be fine.

If it'll make you feel better, you can buy a 2 cycle oil mixer at Walmart, it looks like a big hyperdermic, lol. I've used mine quite a bit actually on all kinds of stuff w/ atv's and automobiles....or you could use a turkey baster...

pretty much anything you have around the house could do the trick. An old turkey baster could take out the excess or my remedy... The top of any spray bottle. Ie. glass cleaner, flower water spray bottle, the spray gun attachment from the wife's laundry spot remover (Shout). Just snake the straw end down into the overflow tubeand spray until your level is where you want it.

Oh I should mention, spray it into a garbage container so no CATS lick it up and die. {This has been my disclaimer for any cat lovers out there.}
