sunk my fore man today

[bigjoe450]

I was riding today and went up a creek and hit a deep spot. Well it stalled out and almost rolled over. I had to winch it out and promptly stood it up on its back rack to drain the water out of the exhaust . Well i didnt start it up until i got home. i changed the oil three times till i saw no signs of any water in the oil. And there was water in the engine a nice milky color. It seems to run fine no smoke or any signs of problems.


Well my question is am i overlooking anything that needs to be checked to make sure that all water is out of my foreman?

And yes i have not changed the filter yet the local shop is not open on sundays and none of the auto parts store carry the filter i need. They all say they can order it but it will be a few days and i can get one tomorrow at the dealer. i am going to change it tomorrow after work. Or should i just shell out the dollars for the HL reuseable oil filter?

any help woult be great
thanks

Might drain both differential fluids and see how those are doin. Just changed mine today and they were pretty milky.

Did you change the oil, run it for 10-20 minutes, change the oil, run it, like that?

[bigjoe450]

yes i changed it then let it run for around 5-10 min each time

I plan on changing it at least one more time with a new oil filter befor i go ride it again just to be on the safe side. and i will check the dif fluid thanks

I have sunk mine....rolled it over in some fast moving water, satayed that way for 3 to 4 min. I had the crankcase snorkeled over top of the carb and back down to the air box and that really saved the crankcase, may have got a few drops of water in the oil?
But the jug was full, pulled the plug and pumped it out, about 20 to 30 hrs. later when I really get on it it will puff a small touch of smoke out the tail pipe, so I would say I may have to hone it and replace the rings or rebuild the top end in the future.
