Polaris 700 XC Floods out

[rocky367]

Posting this as my neighbors sled has us scratching our heads, here is the situation:
Bought the sled off here this fall, cleaned the carbs and it ran great. Took it out for a long ride and it ran great no problems. Daughter comes over, decides to take her around the yard and play around, runs fine. Hits a snow bank wrong and tips it on its side and he hits the kill switch as it tips. Lays on its side for about 3 minutes as I was right behind him (small yards) and got it back upright and off him quickly. Go to restart and it is just boggy and hard to start, after that it just fouls plugs and floods out.
Take the carb apart, clean everything up, make sure things work right and it still does it, 4-5 pulls and the plugs are fouled and it won't run. Any ideas? Figured this was a good spot to see if the answer is there.
Thanks!

my guess is the crank case is full of gas. Shut off the gas and pull the plugs and pull and pull and pull till you see no more gas blowing out the plug holes reinstall the plugs and try to restart with out the gas on if it runs reach in and turn on the gas and hipe for the best.

There are some crank case drain plugs on the front of the motor near the bottom you could also pull them to try and drainthe fuel out.

We had the same issue with a few sleds this year. We all bought used sleds and starting getting back into the sport. We had issues with a few of them. We tried pulling the plugs and eventually pulled the drain plugs in the bottom of the crankcase and drained them. It worked on each of them with no porblems since. One of the was an XC 700.

Thanks guys! I knew the answer was going to be here, that's what it was exactly. Did the suggestions and it is up and running!

Wierd, I've flooded out an older FUJI motor like that, and once it started to fire it took a bit but eventually coughed it all out and cleared itself without draining. Must be the difference in motor designs.

I figured it was flooded out when we first tipped it back and tried to start, changed the plugs and it ran right away but rough. I too thought it would clear itself, but not to be had. I wonder if there wasn't something in the carb that flooded it, we cleaned it out but had to clear the system?
