Soaking bottom end in diesel questions...

[J.D.]

Ok I've soaked the bottom end of my YTM200 in diesel....along with the side covers and such to clean them out nice and good. Now, it doesn't seem like the diesel is drying off. How do I get it off now? Or should I just go ahead and put it all back together the way it is?

Use laquer thinner to wipe off the parts, might take you a la couple wipes, but it will come off. or you could soak them in laquer thinner. I'd imagine that having diesel in your crank case probably wouldnt be a good thing. might mess up your clutches. if you really need to, put it together and put in some cheap oil, runn it for a few minutes, then drain it and put some more in. i'd do that at least twice to make sure you got it all out. but thats just me, i worry about dumb stuff like that. good luck
