Re: [T3] gas and oil coming out of exhaust


I smelled the liquid on the floor and it smelled like pure gas, although it
was a little dirty from the carbon in the exhaust.

I will replace the plugs tonight, change the oil, and try to get the other
oil/gas out of the cylinders as you suggest.

Thanks.
