It's at 8:51 when we start to learn about how to un flood . This guy is learning how costly a GF can be , when will we learn . Ps. keep on learning

Well bro it looks like fun!!!

May need to get some higher snorkel, but it does change the look

Run your two intake hoses up into the headlight pod. It will retain the factory look and get you the extra height.

Tryed... there is zero room to do that properly. I am going to run them up and thru that black center panel instead. Video to come once i figure it out and still have it look good.

I recommend trail riding only, where did your snorkeling kit get ya? Broken!

Could be many things. check to see if you actually have spark first...then fuel pressure.

Putting my machine into swamp funk. Never made sense to me. And these machines are expensive. Mudding is one thing. Im new to wheeling. Maybe im missing something? Im learning.

I agree these machines are very expensive. And im more careful now, after having to rebuild my hydro locked motor in my XP1000. Riding trails and scenery get boring LOL. You are new which is ok, but after you have been riding for 2 decades you want more of a challenge sometimes. Even if its borderline dumb.

2019 grizzly 700 got submerged. Did all these steps but engine wont turn over, even with a socket on crank bolt. Any thoughts?

Yeah take the head off and see if crank will rotate. On early polaris models the crank sprocket was pressed on and not keyed. And when they would get hydro locked it would spin the crank sprocket on the shaft out of timing. Its also possible to shear off that key on the crank and cause the same. If unlucky enough. Best bet is to buy a yamaha factory service manual and and follow factory procedure to see if all the timing marks are align the way it should be with valve train. Im glad i had a factory service manual when i completely rebuilt my trashed motor i used it alot.

If the engine was still running. And you just ended up with the milky oil only. How would you go about cleaning that. ?

At a minimum you will need to drain and replace oil and filter and freaking pray, pray nothing went past a collapsed air filter and down thru the pcv hose. On my machine there was debris and plant matter stuck on the oil pump inlet screen inside the engine. Impossible to see. Only seen after a full on engine disassembly/rebuild. Which led to main bearing failure due to oil starvation as well as a bent connecting rod.

Well I ended up after deliberating with a ATV mechanic. I got the valvoline 10-40 Atv oil from Walmarts for under $5 a qt. And a few fram 6017a filters. And a bottle of sea foam. Did 62oz of oil and 4oz of sea foam. Ram quad to 150f then did a 10min timer. The second round oil looks good as new again. I let it sit overnight and checked it this morning still looks good. I’m going to check on it daily until Saturday when my polaris oil gets in. Not going to ride it till then. But no unusual noises. Thing polaris engines sound wierd anyways compared to Honda. But nothing out of the ordinary. So will see after I get it out in the trial next to house and put some stress on it. But I was able to rev it to 5k no issues. So maybe I’m in the clear

Also check your trans and diff fluids but yes use suitable cheaper oil and filter to flush out anything in engine. Then replace with polaris spec. Most residual moisture will cook off once you get it hot and running.

Hey John, love your videos. Question - how did you get the machines so clean in side and out after flooding them? They look like they are practically off the showroom floor.

Dude, you have water in your fuel. The smoke from the dip stick is steam. I bet you need to just drain your fluids again and clean the gas tank. When my ranger when into the lake it was the same thing.
