78 GS1000 Gasoline in oil, a lot ...

Need some advice please.

Went to change the oil today to get her ready for the summer season(I'm slow)....Put the pan under the drain plug,removed the plug and the drain pan (2.5 gal) filled up with an oil gasoline mix.
I drained All the mixture and replaced the filter.

I THINK the petcock was left in the pri position for 6 + months .

No attempt was made to start or turn over the motor with the gas oil mix.
The question I have is what to do next.
Just fill it with oil and kick it over , fog the cylinders first or what.

ANY tips or advice would be greatly appreciated .

THANKS
 
New filter and oil is all thats needed. I check my petcocks with two pop bottles and some long vacuum lines. Remove the lines from the petcock and run drip lines from each nipple into the pop bottles and let set in the ON position over night. If anythings leaking there is fuel in the respective bottle.
 
If it filled the engine that much, you should probably pull the spark plugs to allow any fuel in those cylinders to drain also.
 
Thanks for the advice. Good idea to pull the plugs and do a petcock check. I did want to check the petcock , just didn't know how to.

Thanks again for the quick reply.
 
Suck on a piece of tubing connected to the vac nipple a few times and see that the fuel in fact does shut itself off each time you release the vacuum also. Just to be sure its not seeping that way also. Its a good bet that if the petcock leaks youll have something in one of the bottles.
