Oh very nice. I appreciate that.
I’ll want to do the impeller before I put it back in the water. Hasn’t been changed it probably 15 years (although it was only used for like 3 summers during that time.
I have a temp gun and temps stayed around 140 F at the hottest part of the engine so I...
it stays on Lake St Clair in Olympia which isn’t too big. If I have to paddle home one day it won’t be the worst thing to happen haha.
Should I be concerned with all of these connections? They all got wet even though there was a cover with a gasket over them
It wasn’t running when it sank.
Does that mean that the starter is likely fine?
The battery was dead when I got it out of the water so I don’t know if something shorted and the points were “on or active” while it was under water.
I got the control box apart and much as I could and have a fan...
We had heavy rain here in Washington. It’s a summer house and I don’t go there but a couple times a week. It’s been rained on before and never got close to going under so I wasn’t worried about it.. wish I had been .
I have it running again this morning. It sounds pretty good (video attached)...
It was submerged for probably about 8 hours.
Was running for 30 minutes enough do yall think? I rev’d it up a few times. I can go out there again today if need be. It’s about a 30 minute drive.
Again, thank you all so much. I would not have tried to start it right away had it not been for you...
I’m not sure if it was water or fuel that came out of the bowls.. possibly a mixture.
I let it run for 30 mins with the hood on then took the hood off to let out any moisture. I would have let it run longer but I need yo get going home, work in the morning
I also just sprayed a bunch of Power Tune in the carbs and cranked it over with the spark plugs out. I’m just not sure I’ll be able to get the carbs off and then back on. I don’t have gaskets and I’m sure the gaskets will need to be replaced if I take the carbs off
