Oily Carb and Exhaust - know the source but need clean up help

[mlangford]

Long story but I had a loose flywheel and in order to lock up the cylinders to tighten it, I filled the cylinders up with oil and put the spark plugs back on.

It worked great but now I can't get rid of all that oil. When I try to start the motor, oil comes out of the exhaust and the carburetor.

I've put pre-mixed gas in the cylinders to dilute the oil down and tried to start the engine many, many times with no luck.

Should I continue doing this until oil quits blowing out the carb and exhaust or is there something else I should try? Thanks.

pull the spark plugs, and hit start button.

Thanks. I was hoping for a magic trick. I'll spend some more time running the starter with the plugs out. With plugs in, it's tried to fire a few times but just can't quite catch.

Next time, use rope. You can just pull it out when you are done, and no mess.
