my ATV has been stalling and smoking alot. Just changed the oil and drained out about 2+ qts more than should be in it. Apparently gas has been getting into oil sump. What I drained was thin and smelled like gas. My air filter was soaked and also smelled like gas. Where do I go from here???????????HELP
