need 2 stroke advice

[Gibby]

This last weekend we decided to do a little water skipping, and of course we lost one to the bottom of the pond, we got it running right away, changed the chain case oil, put some dry gas in, and run it around the yard, and of course across the pond again, is there anything else that I should do to it? Someone said that you need to drain the crank case also but I have never heard of this before. Is there a drain for this?
(SRX 600)
Any suggestion would be great

crank case

well is empty now. as as soon as you started it it would have locked up had the case been full all is well that ends well. i have seen this many times in frount of my house my freind and my son,s freinds all run there sled,s out there once you pull them over a few times with the plugs out that displaces most of the water. a couple of years back i was sitting at my table haveing a drink and there go,s a mach Z pulling a water skier and they went a long ways. to town and back. show off then they were raceing against the pwc,s and wining.

when i sunk my viper, i poured some oil in the cylinders and pulled it over w/out the pipe on. oil pulled some more water out.

what we do, is right away when we get it up, put it upside down, pull the plugs, pull the rope until we can't see anymore water coming out, put fresh gas in it, changing chain case oil, engine oil, and sometimes also drain the carburators. But I've never drained the crank case. All the water will getout of there as long as soon as you ride it.

here is a clip where you can see how we do it.

That is pretty much what we did, thanks for the response I was just wondering if there was anything else to do to it.

at least you sunk her in the summer. it is no fun in the winter

We have sunk them. Check everything. We have sunk them in the winter and the seats freeze up. It usually takes a good month of warm weather to dry them up, and usually by then if its an older sled the wood is shot.

I did remove the seat ahead of time, just glad I decided to use the srx and not the warrior

yeah, i don't think a 4stroke would be fun to get the water out of.

 

[LazyBastard]

Not much different, except that you have to add an oil change to the procedure. 4-stroke, drain the crankcase and the oil tank, remove oil filter, crank it over a bunch of times with plugs out, refill oil, put plugs back in, start up.
