Need help fast - in a sling trying to get back into the water. I have tonight to fix the problem. A few days ago I found water in my cylinders. I know where it came from. Backflow from the exhaust elbow (and a broken check valve further down the line). I have fixed that problem. I've pumped the water out of the cylinders, changed the oil and am trying to get this thing to start again. (Was running fairly well before water)
I am on the hard. So thankfully it was fresh water from a bucket. I "think" I got all the water out. Spark plugs dry and no more spewing. But I have much lower compression now. Used to be 90-100. Now 60 in all 4 evenly. I can ALMOST get it to start when I quirt a little ether in the carb. But then sputters out. checking into fuel pump/carb now. But will it start at all with the compression that low?
I have to launch or go back on the blocks tomorrow at 11am. If I go back on the blocks this whole process will cost a ton of money. Been in the sling for 3 days. Tomorrow is my cutoff. Please help.
