just bought 1991 safari L electro,,7 years ago it was put away for storage and someone poured engine oil down cylinders,bled out oil system then from filter to carburators primed with engine oil as well..my question is 1.) how do i now re-prime and fill system with proper injection oil,,2.)how do i test engine seals on both sides..also did compression test and had 190LB in each cylinder..seems a little high perhaps?

190 is alot i think it would of blown out your seals on your motor and what do you mean they poured it down the cylinders

Fill the tank with 50:1 mixed fuel and run it. The pump will prime itself as it runs.

my compression tester might be NFG as it kept climbing might have got oil in it from all the stuff in cylinder.i guessn when it was stored they put about 1/2 cup of oil in each cylinder .. talked to a mechanic and apparently bombardier (ski doo )use to make clear 2 stroke injector oil so i assume thats what it was..after lots of turns finally shot out all the oil and fired up and runs like a top

Yeah Maybe You could spary brake cleaner about the pto clutch seal to see if it bad it should start to idel higher

 

[mattmoose]

brake cleaner is normally non flammable just so ya know i would use starting fluid or something flammable

I'm with you. Might have some spare spark plugs on hand in case the oil soaked engine fouled one or two.
