[splm93]

I have a 95 kaw 900 zxi my buddy rolled it over got water in the engine i pulled the plugs turned it over a little bit water blew out of the plug holes. Dont know no what to do, can anybody help?

Not a Kawasaki man, but here are the basics, roll the jet ski in a manner to purge the exhaust pipe of water ( back pressure build up will keep it from starting ) Pull the air cleaner/ spark arrestor. Pull the spark plugs and push out as much water as possible, fogg it good down each spark plug hole with WD 40. Crank and crank! Dont use starting fluid! Choke it until you smell gas in spark plug holes. Re install plugs and try to start, pull plugs and dry and clean, repeat until success. DONT WAIT, do this ASAP, if you get it running, you need to run it easy and get it up to temp. After it getts running you might want to fogg the cylinders with injection oil and runn it some more.

Good luck

thanks, i got it running but its not running very good,i dont know where the air breathers, are thinking they could have water in them.

The sparkarester systems are made not to hold water in the event of a roll over. I would just swap out the plugs and run the heck out of it. It will get better unless you got water in the fuel tank. Don't add any more oil in the system or engine if it is running( it will just foul the plugs) just go run the heck out of it.

I just drop it off at the local shop i guess i should have read my message first should i let them look at it or run the you no what out of it, they may not even to be able to look at it for a week, and they charge 120 dollars an hour.

well if it was me...I'd run the heck out of it and if it didn't seem to be ok you still give them a shot...install new plugs and run it. If it works than you could use the $120.00 for gas to have fun I'm sure.
