Hi I asked a question in another post querying a reply mikidymac had posted about why it is important to start your engine before running it on a hose then shutting it of before turning the engine off again, this is my first ski,
I previously had a boat so not really clue'd up on ski's, I got the reply to my message at 5am UK time off JeremyD615 thanks for the reply m8, So i got up n went and looked and guess what I've done, I had the hose on a couple of days ago to try and fix the leak I have from the valve on top of the exhaust box, it was totally full of water the engine.. No wonder it wouldn't turn over after I had changed the valve it must of been hydrolocked because when I tried to turn it over it just went clunk, clunk I thought my batt had died, i have just drained it out as best as I could n then cranked the motor to push it out of the cylinders till later today bearing in mind it was 5.30am, I'm so pissed with myself. What damage could I of potentially of done to it, where else could the water of got too...? Thanks.
ps: there was gallons of water in it..
Pic of the water it pumped out the spark plug holes in the head, most of the water I drained through the exhaust joint where it has the rubber connecting joint was clean water the stuff it pumped out of the head was dirty grey colour mixed with fuel, it has probably been sat like that for 7 days...[/QUOTE
