Not sure how many here are in the QR groups on Facebook so I decided to upload the videos of me draining the water out of ole Heinz to YouTube so I can share here and show that there really is no way to kill an old 2-banger!

This was probably 4-5 days after the water receded. It took me way longer to get her drained than I wanted but thankfully everything came out ok in the end


It's a good thing I run a shop that specializes in mud bikes, so a flooded engine is a very common occurrence lol I ran her with the choke on for a little while to try and flood the cylinder with as much fresh fuel and oil as I could to try and wash as much residual water out of the crank, bearings and cylinder as possible. Note the silencer spiking water out. No, that's not a blown headgasket. That is what happens after a machine is 4 1/2 feet under water!!!


And here she is! Happy as can be! I cycled her up to around 120-130 a few times to get every little bit of water out as I possibly could. And maybe barked it out a few times, as well
