Back for my second issue of the season. I made the rookie mistake of forgetting to close the raw water intake after a sail and came back a week later to find the engine flooded. After a few starting tries I was able to exhaust the excess water and the engine just sounded like nomal, but wouldn't start. Spark plugs looked in decent shape, compresson checked out good (thumb test). I drained the carb a few times and did find some debris and it was a bit milky the first 2 times.
At this point, my guess is that something clogged the jet in the carb and the engine isn't getting fuel. Thankfully I already have a carb rebuild kit, so that is currently my plan. I'll also be cleaning some extra spark plugs as a backup. Any suggestions to confirm carb before repairing it?
