army198527 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 So back story, was on a steep muddy hill side, was stuck, it was hot out high humidity, and the motor was hot, out of no where, the overflow box under the seat behind the air filter exploded, didnt blow the cap off, blew out the side, melted a hole thru it, sprayed anti freeze every where, I instantly killed the motor jumped off and pulled the seat off, not sure how the hell this happened, seemed to start back up and cycle to first and all gears fine, did a one minute start up, shut it back off, going to check the pump to make sure the pump is working correctly, had full fluid in it.... My question my engine damaged do you think...... And if pump works what caused this will post pic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Weird. Check pump as U stated. If it has the stock head check for blistered paint from being overheated. Any chance the heat from exhaust stinger tube caused it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
