Hi guys, I'm riding a 2018 Kodiak 700. I've put right at 300 hours on it, and is been a Flawless machine. Yesterday while on a ride it was hot so we stopped at a creek to cool off and I parked in the water.
It was about ankle high, and I parked with the rear of the machine facing the flow of water.
Now the problem I'm having is, when I proceeded to pull out of the creek, I started my machine and it quickly died within seconds, I started it again and it died quickly. I tried to start it multiple times, and nothing but sputter.
Once we were at the vehicles, I noticed a lot of water spraying out of the CVT intake when I would attempt to crank. I was possibly up to my ankles in water and no more. After we drove back to knoxville, i started it and it ran for about 20 seconds which gave me false hope.
This morning I checked my oil, and there was water in it.
Today I got a new spark plug, I drain the old oil, and put some fresh oil in, and still just a 3 second idle and it dies.
My thought is becoming that possibly water ran into the vent tube of the CVT housing, and as to water in the oil, I'm not so sure about that. And why wont it start?
Does anyone possibly know what is wrong with my machine, which runs amazing all the time?
Thank you guys very much
