I bought a 1977 Kawasaki KZ750 for my bday (see photo below - my friend with it). Two days after I got it, the carbs overflowed nonstop while the bike was running and the petcock ON, and only stopped when I shut off the petcock. Long story short, the brass float has a hole near the seam, which caused the overflow.
Now the engine crankcase has a TON of gas in it.
The new float is being overnighted to me and should arrive tomorrow. Ive never had a situation where ive had that much gas in the crankcase.
Any advice on the best way to make sure ALL of the gas is out. Obviously the oil should be changed, but how many times to make sure the gas is all gone ? I dont want to ruin a perfectly good engine, and hope it isnt damaged already.
