I decided to fire up the pirate ship today and got it started. I just let it idle for a few minutes and then noticed oil pooling up under the exhaust on the right side. Any ideas? Been sitting for awhile.

Thanks JP. I think I'll drain all the oil and start over see what happens. I cranked it for at least 30 seconds before it fired and I let it idle for a few minutes. Pulled it once got lots of smoke and then noticed a small about of oil leaking out the right side muffler... whether its fixable or not, I'm actually very happy to be focused on the race car now... is that sick or what?

I always tried to start The Beast at least every two weeks, but one time it went two months and I had the same issue. JP's explaination is right, but I'm not sure whether just draining the oil and refilling will extract the oil that has gone places where it shouldn't. These motors don't like sitting around. |
