Just bought my first max IV project. what to do now?

Well I just bought a 1996 max iv. It has a 20hp motor that needs to be tinkered with. The max has a exo-skeleton and was turned over on a ride by the prior owner. Oil came out of the motor from every little hole. Now I have to figure out what to do. The motor won't turn over.

I forgot to mention that it has a roll cage and windshield with a custon made cargo basket that the prior owner made. I paid $2000 for this little machine with 300 hours on it. Is that a good deal?

Take out the spark plugs to see if oil got inside the cylinders when it rolled over causing the engine hydrolock. If the cylinders did fill with oil just turn the engine over and the oil will get pushed out the spark pulg hole.
Hope this helps and good luck with your max!

Thanks. Ill try that. I hope it works. I plan on doing some mods to this great machine. can anyone point me to the gov bypass thread? I read on a thread someone mention it but i havent found it as of yet.
