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.
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.
I have a 2021 sportsman 570 hit a water hole water got in my air box atv killed I turned off the switch. Drained the oil and air box replaced the oil and air filter it still won’t start just turned over and don’t start. What should I do?
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.
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.
@@JohnFrancoNH I cant tell because engine wont spin at all. Going to pull head off and check out the valves and see if I can spin the crank with head off
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.
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.
well i pressure wash them really good with hot water after serious rides. soap them down real good once a year and use SC1 spray on them. Thanks for watching!
@@JohnFrancoNH You have a nice set-up, I like how you can't see everything, factory look. Looks fun going deep in the water/mud! Just wish I had like a old honda to mud out. Or just get a can-am xmr to start with. Not willing to do it with a regular 10k+ sportsman because of what just happened. Good job on the videos, you have good sportsman content! 👍🍺
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
Run your two intake hoses up into the headlight pod. It will retain the factory look and get you the extra height.

May need to get some higher snorkel, but it does change the look
Never understood why peeps drown their quads? But to each their own. If i wanted a canoe. Id by one. But good vid. Thank you.
LOL. Thanks for watching!
Well bro it looks like fun!!!

Did you have idle issues afterwards mine is idling like a cam in park and neutral but idling normal in gear
No i didnt, but you may have bent a valve
I recommend trail riding only, where did your snorkeling kit get ya? Broken!
Yeah well thats kinda boring.Done that for 20+ years need to branch out a little...

Could be many things. check to see if you actually have spark first...then fuel pressure.
If the engine was still running. And you just ended up with the milky oil only. How would you go about cleaning that. ?

how much do you charge for the stealth snorkel system? looks like a great set up
email me if interested

yeah it was a fun day! Thanks for watching!
Dude sounds super knowledgeable but has a baby snorkel on to retain the look..? Put a way higher snorkel on that sucka
2019 grizzly 700 got submerged. Did all these steps but engine wont turn over, even with a socket on crank bolt. Any thoughts?
Sorry to hear that..Do you have spark and fuel? you may have bent a valve(s)

hi, can you help me, I need the same to my sportsman xp 1000 s 2022
motor rebuild or snorkel kit?

@@JohnFrancoNH thanks John, where to you apply the SC1? Just the painted surfaces of the skins?
Maybe keep the ZR1 out of the puddles.
Haha...i can definitely agree 100% on that!
@@JohnFrancoNH hey it’s an honor. thank you for responding . I’ve always admired your knowledge and particular attention to detail👍
This is why I have no interest in willingly driving my 10k+ atv into water or mud that deep!
Yeah well it was a poor decision on my part that flooded it. It went thru water bogs all day with my custom stealth snorkels. Will extend them a bit
