Soaked the Kf7

[Mallett]

So out today running around today, the chop was heavy and a lot of large boat wake. I surfed down the back of a wave, another hit the port bow burying it. Over and turtled!  So what’s the first thing? Empty the fuel tank, drain the carburetor, take the spark plugs out, take off the covers to see the pistons use  air compressor to blow out to dry, what’s  next, call Dave?
Thanks

Agreed. And once it’s running, get it back on the boat and run it hard. It takes more time running than you think to clear the crank shaft bearings of every trace of water.

Long live American manufacturing!

Hay Dave, Billw, Lube the inside of the pistons, and do the other things that I listed? Thanks

Plugs out-
Pull it over to get water out-
Lube cylinders-
Drain tank and carb-
Dry out ignition and get spark.
Get it running.
“As soon as passable!!!!! ”
Many will tell you to keep a motor
submerged if you can’t get to it
right away.

Working on it now, just broke spark plug 😖 off to the parts store. How do I get spark?

[Mallett]

What lube should I use on the pistons? I’m turning the flywheel by hand no spark

 

[Mallett]

Should I use the shop vac to suck and blow it out?

How to dry out the ignition?

Flywheel needs to come off.
Dry out the ignition. If you have air us it.
Once dry spark should reappear.
