try tipping it on its side and see if it moves at all.

 

You could try flushing it out with motor oil. I had to do the same on my Craptor to flush out the one-way bearing bolts. (bolts that hold the one-way bearing to the flywheel) good luck......

 

I would do that the only problem is on warriors theres a plug that wouldn't allowed something the size of a washer to drain out.....so I am clueless...I'm trying to take off the other side at the moment to see if maybe its on that side...I also tried to blow air down in the hole where my oil dipstick is at.....god damn it...this makes more mad every second...I wanted to get this thing running tonight guess that ain't happenin.

 

 

Sorry about that.

If you dont find where it is you will have to take some more parts of the motor out i know you want it to work tonight but if you dont find the washer and start the engine you will be in big trouble. What if you try to drain the oil and check on the bottom of the engine to see if it reached the bottom even though it wont come out you shoud check to see if its stuck on a corner inside the engine or something. Worst scenario it gets stuck inside the motor. good luck...

 

It's already in the bottom of the motor.....it's on the side where the stator is but it fell through the hole where the oil drains so I'm going to go finish taking off the other side.

 

Turn the quad on its side, I had to take the clutch case and stator case off and start dumping oil thru the clutch side and letting it flush out the stator side. it's messy if you don't have a big pan for the oil to fall into.....good luck [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

That's what I'll do tomorrow.....too tired tonight.

 

If your tried stand back and take a deep breath, tomorrow will bring new ideas to solve your delema. Good idea.
