Sorry for being new and immediately asking for help. I do intend to contribute too when I can.
So here is what happened and I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to resolve this chain of events.
I bought a 2005 Grizzly 660, I cleaned the carb and put a new spark plug in it, it was running great, I noticed a radiator leak and proceeded to flush the radiator, it was pretty nasty. I flushed a lot of water through it and pulled the pull start without starting it to work the water through the whole system and drained it multiple times. The whole time I was doing this I didn’t know the water pump was leaking. This caused the motor to literally fill up with water to the point that I couldn’t turn it over with the pull starter anymore. When I couldn’t pull it anymore I removed the carb and spark plug and pulled it over and water came out of both the spark plug and intake. The pressure actually loosened the spark plug a bit.
I pulled the waterpump, oil plug and filter and let it drain for 4 days while the new water pump came, now I have the new water pump installed and put 1qt ATF and 1qt oil in and worked it through with the hand crank. While doing this water is still coming out of my spark plug hole (it’s a mist now, and isn’t as strong).
I have a pretty good grasp on keep changing oil until it isn’t milky to clear the bottom end and would appreciate any tips if anyone has them on how to improve this process. However my main question is how did the water get into the top end from the water pump leak? Does it mean there is damage to something internal?
Thank you all in advance for your help!
