Hi,

This model isn't offered in the US, but I will try my best to help.

In addition to draining the tank, did you replace the fuel filter, and blow out the fuel line and injectors? It sounds like the mixture is still present in the engine. If you didn't clean the lines, filter, and injectors, that is still present.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
