water freezing

[ryanvx110]

ok so i did my oil change today
started it up with the hose on
ran it
noticed that like no water came out the exaust pee hole inthe front
(what should i do about this)

and when i took the hose off, i gave it some throttle to clear out teh water
but when i looked the line that i attach the garden hose too is still full of water
something i have noticed befor, but it didnt dawn on me to worry about it till now cause it is gonna start to freeze
how do i get the water out of this hose?
it is fileld to the top
and it freezing isnt gonna be good

Re: water freezing

Gravity should do the job....but if you are worried about it,just remove the flush tube from the hose and plug it in an dlet air in that way.

gravity doesnt work on it
cause its been sitting for about a month since i drove it last, and the water was still in it

is hooking up air to it safe?

Re: water freezing

Shouold not be standing water in it - you sure that there isn't any blockage somewhere?

Re: water freezing

well, if there was a blockage, wouldnt water not get to the engine when i run it?
water comes out the bottom, but i do have a problem of very little water spittin out the pee hole up front
how should i check for a bloackeg?

Re: water freezing

there is a little valve inside where the flush hose plugs in...is the water only on top of the little valve and the hose under it empty? When running ski on hose almost half of the garden hose water runs out the jet pump and onto the ground and the other half flushes the engine...thus the no pee because of the low volume of water...does it pee while riding? Blow lines out with compressed air to remove water, but run engine 15-20 seconds (reving it) without water to clear exhaust system before storing it for the winter.

how far down is the valve?
when the cap is off, i see water

what rpms should i rev it too?

Re: water freezing

the valve is just below the cap...it seals itself off when you unplug the flush hose or else it would pee cooling water as you ride....blast the water from the exhause after riding in fresh water or after flushing...3-4000 rpm 4-5 times....read your owners manual

i did read it
it didnt say what rpms to rev it to


so i should unhook the hose, but keep the adapter plug in to see if the water is sucked out? will that bypass the valve?

Re: water freezing

Just put your flush connector in w/o hose, start engine and blow the rest water out. That should take care of it.
