04 sportsman fill plug on flywheel/recoil starter cover
On my 04 sportsman I noticed a fill plug and a drain plug on the recoil starter/ flywheel cover. I went through deep water and water got into that area. I removed the cover to drain and noticed rust starting to form. Can I put oil in there to lube things up. What are the plugs for?

Contact/brake cleaner ,rags to clean up the mud and rust. best if you can pull flywheel and clean inside of flywheel and stator,BUT if cant,clean everything around area including the small pulser on left side of stator. Its a good time to grease up the starter bendix while you are at it. Just grease around plunging part of bendix and a little grease where it ride in bushing in recoil housing
