cart flipped on side

wish2fish · 09-07-2010, 11:24 AM

my nephew as driving my cart and flipped it on its side. Fortunately everyone is okay.

Is there anything I need to be concerned with? Cart was resting on the passenger side for approximately 15 minutes. Upon uprighting it started easily but was smoking, which seemed to subside after a few minutes.

Just check your oil in the rear end and motor, and the water in the battery--

When the cart was on it's side the oil from the crankcase probably leaked into a cylinder via an open valve. When you started it, it probably spit and sputtered a little til' it cleared the oil out of the cyl. Like rib said, check all your fluids and go...

I agree, run it. It should clear up .... then tell your nephew that you had to shell out $35 to fix what he did.
Maybe one day you can tell him the truth, but me being me ......... I'd let him sweat it for awhile

He made a bad testosterone filled decision and he knows it now. Who amongst us hasn't done that?

If he's anything like me, he learned that he will need to get everyone leaning into the corners more next time. LOL
