Was riding with a buggy this weekend that ended up on it's lid for a few minutes till we could flip it over. We pulled the plugs and cranked out the oil twice but the motor still ended up knocking.
I knew there's gotta be a lot of experience between every body on this forum on how to handle the situation so I thought I'd start a thread on it for advice.
Couple things looking back that I think I would do over is.
1. Get the buggy on completely level ground to help oil from finding a low spot?
2. Pull the plugs and just let it sit for a couple hours and go ride some more then come back. Feel like it's not worth it to rush and hope all the oil drained back down. One guy mentioned that since we weren't completely level maybe some of the oil laid in a corner of the intake and got sucked over to another cylinder when we did fire it up.
3. They also cranked the motor over with the plugs in but ignition off to see if it would turn over at all and I think we shouldnt have even tried that. I don't know if it could hurt anything just turning over with the starter but I don't think it's something worth risking?
