[QUOTE="ctbale, post: 175395, member: 2418"] these motors are pretty tough. My girlfriend took my two 1977 ct70s riding a month ago, we got to a logging road where we had to go thru about a 10" of standing water. Engs were 1/3rd submerged. I was really more worried about water in the brakes. Delt with that, but a few days later checked oil and the oil in her motor it looked like a vanilla milkshake so somehow her motor sucked water in the engine. Same as you, I thought the motor was toast. Dumped the oil, put fresh oil in, ran it for 20 mins, dumped the oil again. Then pulled the RH side cover off, there was white goo everywhere. Pulled the screen, pulled the clutch spinner. Cleaned it all out, leaned the bike to the right and used an entire can of brake/parts cleaner and pressure washed everything I could see. I had a gallon of walmart 10w-30 so after putting it all back together, did like 4 oil changes after a 30 min ride, over and over. Last two the oil was clear. Set valves and snugged up timing chain. been riding the thing everyday since, runs just fine. But mine didnt have solid chunks. I didnt want to pull the motor and split the cases. I dunno, If it was my bike I would do everything I did, plus pop off the stator, check that out and maybe just run it. The only concern would be plugging up the screen from any material still in the tranny and starving your oil pump pickup point. [/QUOTE]
