Is there a sump drain on the 175 Sunbeam, Recent purchase and the sunbeam is a heavy smoker, its been stood for a while and wondering if the sump is full,

TTJOHN

The 175 is a two stroke so I suppose that if it's not got the correct twostroke oil in it/ or the correct amount, it could contribute towards heavy smoking.

The 175 does have a drain screw in the bottom of the crankcase
