Ok then i will carry on tomorrow and keep pumping it out through the plugs then, Thanks mikidymac..

Thanks mikidymac that why i changed from light gear oil to diesel it wouldnt clear up the light oil compared to diesel.. Pics is of the gear oil and diesel mixed together, I am pulling the motor and will tip it all out the flush till it clean..

Hi again, quick question how do i drain the crank area of oil or fluid, the front part of the crank towards the flywheel be precise i have filled it with diesel and it will not drain through the drain plug, i think i'm going to pull the motor tomorrow as i was suggested in the first place..
