I'm working on an NSR and in hindsight I should have cleaned the carbs out better, all the brass components have a wonder green corrosive tinge. The problem I now have is that the left half of the crank is full of fuel. I've taken the reeds out and used a syringe to drain out what I can, what else should I do?
If turning it upside down is a bit of a problem due to all your friends being away on holiday, then maybe try this:
Get a vacuum cleaner that has a "blow" mode and modify the end piece of the blow tube so that it has a hole in it where you can attach a small diameter PVC tube or similar.
If you do it right, it will create a venturi effect and you can use the other end of the small diameter PVC tube to suck out all the fuel in the crankcase.
Just make sure you don't spray petrol everywhere. _________________ [color=#808080][size=9]Yes,.. I too know how to waste Time and Money,...

All the old gas gets poured in to my car, it does not seem to mind...
Errrhhhhh?
If this happened to me I would remove the reed blocks...ah, you did that already....get an air blower from your compressor and point the blower into one inlet at an angle. Making sure that you have goggles on and PLENTY of kitchen roll/tissues etc around the inlet tract then just ...blow. the blast of air will move any fuel around the crankcase and up into the tissues. Keep doing this on both sides of the crankcase until the tissues remain dry. Any other fuel will just evaporate anyway. Protect your eyes!
A quicker way would be just to throw a lighted match into the fuel filled crankcases!!!!! Please don't do this....although I did do it to a Tiger Cub fuel tank back in my teens before painting it. What a roar What a TIT! _________________ I don't mind dying...I just don't want to be there when it happens!
Sorry, misread Crank for Tank... should have known better posting after midnight...
use syringe or turkey baster to remove what you can, if you can get a hose on it it should get 99% of it out, put the bike back together and start it, it may be rich for a bit but should clear up in few seconds, just don't shut it off till it warms a bit and make sure you do it outside cause it will be some heavy smoke screen, Had pretty much same thing happen to me and I started it IN the shop....
this is what I used in the past, Fork Oil level took
I finally got some time to work on the bike. I cut the chain off earlier so I couldn't walk my bike and pump it out. I did a modified version of this by initially taking the plug out and giving it a swift kick. It resulted in a face full of fuel (luckily I was wearing safety glasses). I put the plug back in and kept kicking. I would remove the expansion chamber and drain the fuel out, refit and keep kicking until there wasn't any fuel on the chamber.
The replacement carbs now seal and the bike runs with a mean crackle whilst there is still unburnt fuel in the chamber. I have to get my son used to the sound of the NSR, he git scared by it all.
