1998 Seadoo SPX: Using a straight gas/oil mixture...not using an oil line.

Had Seadoo's for 20yrs now & my dumb@$$ forgot to put the plugs in prior to launching them in the water. I realized about 5 minutes later, yet by that time the hull was full of water. I got it home, removed the spark plugs, and cranked her up in effort to blow the water out.

As expected it shout out water like a whales blow hole, however now it is blowing out some greenish substance (See pic). I have so far attempted WD40, compressed air, etc., yet the substance continues to blow out and not cranking over. It was cranking over perfectly prior to me submerging the hull =/.

Any Tips or suggestions?

Spark plugs, spark plugs.... they solve a lot of problems. Glad you got it going.

They key for me with a wet engine or suspected wet engine is to remove the spark plugs and turn it over. A lot of damage can be done with water in the engine and trying to crank it.
