Take it to bits and use the airline and paper towels..... It's the only way to be sure. On the other hand you could bodge it by filling it full of oil and then draining that out....... Just don't hydraulic lock the engine and bend the rod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 The WD in wd40 stands for water dispersal. WD40 will burn off a treat once it's soaked everything down. or of course, you could start the engine, it may take a bit of a go to do it, then let the heat dry it off.

Evilchicken0 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 take of the carb and put the engine in an oven at 75 degrees. It's an engine it can easily take that heat and the water will evaporate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get the much and sludge out that the water brought with it. That will be far more damaging. I once bought an engine (just for the cases) that had been flood damaged.
