Default RE: how do you start a wet engine


ORIGINAL: ByronRC

In boats this happens a lot after a flip. sometimes a ring of water gets into the threaded portion of the spark plug between the electrode. Tap the spark plug and make sure all that water is out. while you have the spark plug off pull the starter over until most of any fluid is out of there. put it together and idle it blipping the throttle every once in awhile. This happens to me about once every other saturday and a buddies boat atleast every saturday just make sure you run that engine ASAP to prevent corrosion.
