Slartibartfast Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 How fast was it running when you dunked it? And how long has it been since? There's a chance that the hydrolock screwed up the engine, but seeing as how it runs at all I'd check for wet electricals first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfounder Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I would inspect and clean all electricals as well as the fuel system. Then I would do a leak down test on all cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install a snorkel and then talk like that. The airbox position on these allow them to sip when they dip, so why ruin the fun... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
