Default Rolled over now have engine trouble...ctxt

Rolled very easy and sat upside down for about 3 minutes. Flipped back over and tried to start. All that happens (and continues to happen) is gas literally pours out of the little overflow tube onto the ground when I try to start her. Will not turn over at all, I'm sure the engine is getting no gas as it's all streaming out the little tube. What's up? Thanks!

Are you sure it's the overflow tube, and not the feed tube? That sounds really wierd to me.

Anytime you flip it or roll it try to turn it over ASAP, there is a hose from the oil to the airbox on some quads and it will fill your airbox with oil really fast. You might want to make sure you didn't get lots of oil into your carb.

If the hose is coming off the carb it always leaking then it might be the floats in the carb are stuck. mine stuck and the little hose leaked continusly. you never no.

I believe this is potentially what happened. What do I need to do to fix it? I'll also double check the oil into the airbox.

Sounds to me like the cylinder is full of gas/oil - probably fuel. Call it hydraulic lock. Pull spark plugs and turn motor over gently to evacuate cylinder. As for carb leaking - sounds like overflow, turn the fuel off at petcock and spin motor over, tap on carb in float bowl area, turn motor over, Clean the spark plug and reinstall. Start it up. And BTW, don't leave them upside down so long!!

Update: It's Fixed!

I pulled open the airbox and did find some fuel and oil. Sopped that up. Next pulled plugs. They were dry and new (less than 5 hours on them). Pulled aux starter rope 5 times with fuel off and plug out. Put plug back in, turned on gas, pulled aux starter rope & IT STARTED PERFECT!. Shut it off & started with the normal starter, just fine too.

Going to replace the air filter and batten her back up. Thanks guys!

I noticed that nobody reminded you to change your Engine Oil.
Oil and Gas mixture does not make for good engine lubrication.

Goog luck.
