Title: Need Help!! (kodiak 400 '06) Post by: Big Kev on March 26, 2006, 03:06:43 PM I went riding today in some water pits, and my back racks where under for a bit (engine still going) and got pulled out...Now it seems like it won't go out of first gear (kodiak 06 is ultramatic belt drive)..I emptied the belt drive drain and it still is running slow,I can reverse fine and it when going in drive it is topping like 12 miles per hour...any soloutions? I guess it would be tranny??

Check your Air Filter and make sure it's clean You might have to change the Oil & Oil filter if water/mud got in thier. Title: Re: Need Help!! (kodiak 400 '06) Post by: qt314nfla on March 26, 2006, 09:57:21 PM No might in the oil. Darn good chance you got water in it. If it's milky you'll have to do several changes before it's back to the color it should be.
Also check your front and rear differentials. Probably have to change them also. Check the air box. Check transmission oil. Also might need to change the belt. That it's slipping when you get the speed up. Title: Re: Need Help!!

Checked oil and it was normal but going to change tommrow, never hurts.
Title: Re: Need Help!! (kodiak 400 '06) Post by: qt314nfla on March 26, 2006, 10:22:56 PM Not likely to dry out. You need a new belt. Also if you're going to play in water like that you may consider snorkeling it.
Title: Re: Need Help!! (kodiak 400 '06) Post by: MuddFreak77 on March 26, 2006, 10:50:19 PM At least snorkel the front and rear diff's, Tranny/Belt housing up to the handle bars. if you want to snorkel the air intake also there is a good chance you will need to rejet the carb.
I snorkeled my rincon and I'm now running lean and its causing a hot condition. I need to install a fatter jet, cause after snorkeling its basically an open intake. More air same fuel is lean, less air same fuel is rich mixture. Freakk Title: Re: Need Help!!

Title: Re: Need Help!! (kodiak 400 '06) Post by: Joedirt on March 27, 2006, 11:32:28 AM Sounds like you got the belt soaked , it will dry out ..pull the plug and let it idle , revving it up in neutral , this "should"get the water out of the belt housing , that sounds like why you could not go fast..as a safe measure you may want to open the belt housing up and visually check the belt for chunks missing , then of course check your oil , if it milky start draining it and replacing it and the filter , then do it again until it runs clear. Let me know if I can help any further or if it helps at all.
Title: Re: Need Help!! (kodiak 400 '06) Post by: Big Kev on March 27, 2006, 11:48:32 AM I'll try that. I checked the oil and it looked clean..but going to change anyways.
