Title: to much oil ???
Post by: rubicon500kid on June 09, 2006, 11:21:23 PM
ok my friend changed the oil in his 400ex and it has fouled 2 spark plugs but ran perfect befor he changed the oil so he checked his oil and it was over the high level would this cause his bike to smoke a tiny pit at start and foul his plug ????

How much did he put in it? It would have to be WAY to full to foul a plug.

Did you check the fitzer valve? It sounds like the fitzer valve, you can fix it but you're gonna nee the following...

"some pliers, and a set of 30 weight ball bearings (it's all ball bearing nowadays) And I'm gonna' need about 10 quarts of antifreeze, preferably Prestone. No, make that Quaker State."
