Default Please, help w/ Crankcase Drain Plug

http://parts.polarisind.com/Assemblies.asp
1998 Polaris Xpress 300, Automatic Trans, 2-cycle

Above I included a picture link to the CRANKCASE and CYLINDER XPRESS 300 W98CA28C .

Here it shows two different drain plugs. Is anyone familiar with the crankcase drainplug for this motor? Which one do I pull, one, both?
I know it shows on the diagram, but could you also describe where it is at?

I pulled a drainplug on the left side and got a little oil and gas mix out, not much though and I KNOW there is MORE in there. I believe due to bad needle n seat in carb.

THANK YOU

I know: manual, have one comming.

just so know neither of your links are working. the polaris site is hard to get to work or at i've never had luck getting it to link to in the post. if there are 2 drains, i'm guessing it wouldnt hurt to pull them both out to drain the gas. must be some in the exhaust as well i'm guessing if its flooded that bad.

Wasn't any in there- pulled the exhaust when I rebuilt the top end, which is when I should extracted the oil from the crankcase, but didn't know it wasn't supposed to be in there.

Drill it out -- starting with a small drill bit in the center of the plug - work up to a larger one and then use a GOOD quality easy-out (at least 3/8" so IT won't twist off) to get the remnants of the old plug out. Then - either put in a new plug (and it should thread in easy - if it doesn't, you have cross-threaded it) or put in a heli-coil insert or "drill and tap it" out to the next size larger plug you can put in there..
