How to bleed/drain an oil line with a bubble in it
Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2015 8:26 pm
Hi everyone,
My Spree broke down a while ago. The piston was fried or whatever, I forget what the term is. There was no oil getting to it and it burned out. The guy who sold it to me was a hack I guess, because I realized that there was an air bubble in the oil line, which I'm guessing is what caused the problem. (Let me know if I'm totally off base with that.)
I already replaced the piston and cylinder.
Now I want to drain out all the oil to fix the air bubble situation but I've never done anything like that and reading the Spree manual doesn't really leave me feeling confident. Does anyone have a link to a video of someone doing that on a similar scooter that will show me the basic mechanics of the thing? Something I can easily translate onto my Spree? I'm super new to working on anything with an engine, ha. A video of someone putting everything back together properly, without air bubbles, would also be great.
Thank you!
