water in crankcase of 800 triple

[Dano670]

hey guys ,posted this question in the poo section but no one seems to be able to answer it ,polaris 800 triple that from after sitting in the off season with a cover on it that has no holes or tears in it ,the crankcase had water level with the reeds ,checked air box bone dry ,when we pulled carbs I saw water droplets on the back of the slides but I assume it was splashed on from me cranking on engine and yes plugs were out.please help snows coming and we got a mystery on our hands lol.thanks for any tips .

Is it antifreeze or plain water?

 

[Dano670]

plain water, I asked him if he's ever had to add antifreeze and he said no .

I am betting condensation. With a tarp on and no plugs you could get water condensing and then running into the plug holes. Was it stored indoors or out?

 

[Dano670]

stored outside ,from what I've come up with ,is it possible for water to accumulate in the tank from humidity and push it's way thru the pump from outside summer heat ,enter the pulse line and then into the crankcase?plugs were out during cranking ,they were in during storage .Sorry for the confusion there .
