myself and another guy went out this evening for a spin on our quads and he sank his Eiger (manual) in a bog hole up to the handle bars. He shut the engine down as soon as possible and after 1.5 hours of winching and pulling with ropes I managed to get him out.
Once I got him towed home we drained the engine oil and used the shop vac on the air box it was full with 2" of mud on the filter. we flushed the engine several times with oil and changed the filter once (only one we had on hand).
What should we do to get all the water mixed oil out?
How many more filter and oil changes do we need to do?
thanks

I would suggest to un-plug all the electrical connections blow them out with high pressure air then apply die-electric grease and strip it down removing all the plastic, hose it off then blow it clean with air

Damn that is a good idea, I never would have thought of that and I wish i had a year ago. Work smarter not harder right?

fill the engine completely with oil. Let it sit overnight without moving, then drain. The oil will push all water to the bottom of the motor. Drain it out in the morning and you should be all set.
