Re: too much oil

Insure the oil reservoir is venting while out of use and not building pressure and forcing oil thru the OMS pump.Also could be a leak thru seal issue from the oil portion of the pump itself.How long does it set out of use before the carbs are flooded with oil?

I'll check for venting. A couple of days seem to be enough to keep it from starting.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Roger

Re: too much oil

venting seems to be ok.<br />How do I check seals etc,?
