Honda Tact flood victim

[funplanet]

Hi folks,My friends Honda Tact was a recent victim of a flood that happened two weeks ago around Sept 14. Flood level reached the cylinder. Remove plug and kick for a number of times. Clean spark plug,drain carb and more pumping out water from the cylinder. Put back the plug switch on and kick,nostart, cylinder still flooded with water. Clean the plug again,put it back aznd choke the carb. After a few kicks got it to start. With intermittent choking of carb and wide open throttle I got it to run normally. With this case it needs a lot of patience.

Well done friend...
Bearings may be damaged and wear prematurely, but no worries, ride , ride, ride
Maybe water in engine crankcase ?
Maybe water in transmission gear case ?

Did you drain the exhaust too? Flushing the case with some gasoline would be a good idea to help clean debris out. Then a premix flush.
