Hey everybody. I have a question that's not limited to Volvos.

I have a motorcycle and just got my license. It's an 81 suzuki gs650gl, sweet bike.

It'd been running, and I think it's fine. Carbs were recently serviced.

I had put some oil into the spark plug holes as a precaution, and now I want to get it up and running (and riding), and it's fouling plugs. It has good compression, it's not a rings issue, I'm sure it's just the oil I added.

Is there anything practical I can do remove the oil other than just pulling and cleaning the plugs repeatedly?

Thanks,
William
