Flooded 25hp mec now dead in water

[huffduf41]

I was in a hurry this morning didn't let the motor warm up like a usually do and I killed it....then proceeded to flood it.

I've waited a couple hours pulled the plugs and besides being a little wet they look alright -not black more coffee colored. Pulled it a few times with the plugs out and then put them back in and still nothing.

I don't have a clue now.....

thanks

I would pull the old plugs to let it air out some while you go and get a set of new dry plugs.If that doesn't do it then I am sure someone here will have a better answer.If it does fix you up after you run it awhile you might be able to change back to your old plugs,maybe change one at a time if you feel you deserve more life out of them.Good luck.Ron G

marina? they sell plugs other places than a marina, and probably a lot cheaper too.

I've held a BIC lighter under wet plugs to dry them out before. If indeed it is a flooding scenario. Make sure your kill switch..the deal where you hook the tether..is in the run position. I thought I flooded my Mariner 25 on the way to the duckblind once and went through all kinds of things..took the filter off, plugs out, dried them off, unhooked the gas line and cranked about a hundred times with the plugs out..then about a hundred times with them in..as I sat there at 4:30 am in 3 degree weather in my soaking wet T shirt while thinking I was having a stroke since my entire right side was cramped..I noticed the little switch was pulled to KILL..It almost did! My buddy had been using the oars and we were about a 100 feet from the blind when I pushed that switch in and it started on the first pull.
