HeyCharger Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 More help please. I note that my TRQ-7210 should take 36 pints (about 17 litres) of oil. When I filled my quad to the level-filler plug it only took about half this and when I checked the sump plug for the compund case, there was no oil in there. NO, I have not been driving it like this.How does the oil get to the compound section?Should I just put the correct amount into the box via the top?Thanks. Regards, Rod.

terry Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 There is a passage on the bottom back of the front box that lets the oil go from the front box to the back, maybe there is a lot of sludge or something not letting the oil pass.

HeyCharger Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Ok. I believe there is quite a bit of sludge on the bottom of the cases.I really don't want to put flushing oil in it. And I don't really want to contaminate the new oil I put into it. I read somewhere that kerosene may disolve the sludge. The motor still has not been fired up yet and so I'm just wondering if I could put, say, about half a gallon (2 litres) of kero in it and let it sit for a few days.Thoughts? Thanks, Rod.
