wet spark plugs - 96gsx

[fubada]

Hi all, I hydrolocked my seadoo the other day but got her runnin again in a couple of hours. After I ran her for about an hour the same day, and another hour the next day. Today I pulled the plugs, which are only a few weeks old, and they look like this..

I just got this Seadoo and the previous owner said she shouldnt be running rich. I am wondering if I could of caused this condition by flooding the engine over the weekend?

Thank you.

The liquid appears to be oil/gas.

After getting water into the cylinders, is it necessary to replace the spark plugs even if I get it working with the old set? Also, is it OK to add "drygas" to these engines? How can I check for water in oil tank without draining? What else can cause my spark plugs to be all wet?

Is water still coming out if you crank without the plugs in? If so keep cranking until it just a mist and go ride it. Eventually all the moisture will boil/steam out of the engine. Oil will turn milky when mixed in water so you should be able to tell fairly easy if your oil tank is compromised.

Rotor13B,

No water is in the engine, I got some in there over the weekend but ran the doo 3 times since then. I am just concerned why my spark plugs look like they're rich because of the oil/glas on them as the pictures show. Could my hydrolock over the weekend cause the engine to start running rich?

from the pics, it still to me, shows you got water in the system. Theres a counterbalance assy cavity, and when motor is flooded, water enters it as well. So its possible, that run'n the ski, waters' escaping from that area, and causing the symptoms/plugs to be what they are.

Being a 96, theres no way to removethe water, the cavity for the CB is plugged up, unlike the 97-newer 787 motors, where theres atleast a fill plug.

Keep run'n her, have a few plugs on hand, and you should be alright.
