Hi everyone i am new here waiting to get home to fix my quad. Heres my problem:

So I am on the road currently and my Son tells me that the oil level in the quad is low. So I tell him to drain it (Ends up draining the Trans fluid, which he measure the right amount and replace correctly with 10w-30.) So He still put motor oil in the engine, and he fills it up all the way to the top to where he almost overfilled it. After replacing trans oil and with the motor oil filled all the way to the top, he started it up and he said the quad couldnt accelerate past 2 mph, no leaks he said. Is it because everything is over lubricated causing problems? It smokes overly in the exhaust when accelerated and smells like crazy he said. So is it the engine itself or just the overrly amount of motor oil. (Probably 1.5 quarts more the required)

Please help!!

Dont worry, i told him to cover it up till I get back.

 

Id Start alllllll over,,, Drain Tranny and Drain oil and start fresh. Re fill to required amounts. Big mistake tho. But should be ok if it was ridden for a while. Cross yout fingers.. It prob went into safe mode when It didnt run well only going 2 mph.

 

He rode less then 2 minutes so it should be fine. But ill do it when I get home. But you think the over amount of oil is the problem?

 

Yea, its not running normal because of the oil level im sure. As for the smoke and smell,, thats because theres oil prob in the air box. Remove the lid and check and clean. That usually happens when people wheelie alot or oil is over filled. It over flows into the air box. Ive seen it 100 times lol.
