Hmmmm, 2 quarts low, crunching noises.. Sounds fatal,But,
Before you pull the plug,clean out the cavity it is in. Then you can see if it's gonna live. If you have to buy a can of air or Berrymans you can blast around the plug, pull it, add oil, pull the oil fill plug, blast into the cylinder, and if you feel it come out of the oil fill hole,the piston is not okay.
2quarts, that's pretty much all there is... just good she was not running highway speeds and sieze up. Could have been a lot worse than messing up a motor. Congratulations, you can hug your undamaged daughter and laugh about it. SERIOUS learning moment. She got away with it. Anyone who has really run 2 stroke dirt bikes Knows about keeping a finger on the clutch, just in case it locks up, rarely do the daughters know that. Oil levels are critical, not just because of the small amount of lost oil that will ruin an engine, but also because a locked up engine equals a locked up rear wheel if it is in gear and the rider doesn't know to grab the clutch,, ugliness ensues.
