My son drove his eiger in some deep water and it made a funny noise and died. It started back up and ran funny for a mile or two but then ran fine after. Is there a way to check to see if he got water in the CVT? I see a metal drain plug but no clear plastic check point. I bought it used so I do not have the manual and have not bought a clymer yet. If he did get some water in the CVT belt area what would you recommend?

 

There is a small bolt on the bottom of the belt housing to pull out.

 

If he did get water in the belt housing is there anything special I should do other than drain the housing?

 

I don't think you should have to unless you have a oil seal leaking also.

Nea just drain it. Happens all the time. As far as it running weird.. was it slipping or having problems changing gears? If it was the engine that was acting weird it could have sucked water into the airbox.

 

Did water get into the airbox?

 

There was no water in he air box, he backed down in a pond and I think the water got in the snorkle for the CVT. It's the one that's located right under the rear plastic by the battery box.
