draining the fuel tank
Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2023 8:18 am
Hey guys,
I have a 2015 Forza 300 with 26,00 km, new to me. It was sitting outside in a rainy week. I went to start it the other day: it caught for a few seconds and died. On the second try, it ran rough for a few seconds and died. Totally, wont start again. I pulled the plug a day later, cleaned and checked the gap; no go. It is getting gas, making all the noises, but not starting ! Spark was checked with grounding the boot to the frame, but not at the tip of the plug. I have ordered OEM plug, and a couple extra, just in case. I have read about new plugs not working !
If the plug doesn't do it, my next move would be to drain the gas and put the fresh stuff and go from there. Problem is that I don't know how to do that. Is there an alternative to the long tube down the fuel filler hole ?
Thanks for any suggestions.
