1996 slx780

[polarisman]

Just picked up a polaris slx780 that has been sitting. I removed the spark plugs and the cylinders are loaded with oil. I cycled the engine and it was raining oil. I have cycled the numerous times but I still foul of the spark plugs. How can I get the oil out of those cylinders?

The easiest way is to turn the ski on its side and crank it over with the plugs removed, Roll it on its side so that the carbs face up and the exhaust is closest to the ground. You will need to ground the spark plug leads back to the block so you don't damage the coils while cranking over the engine. With the ski in this position it will force the oil in the cylinders to blow into the exhaust and out through the spark plug holes, after it seems to have pushed all the extra oil out then roll it back up-right and try starting it. The ski will smoke quite a bit for a while then start to clear up.
