How can I repair a hydro-locked jetski without taking it in to get serviced?

Question

If anyone can, can you tell me how to do it step by step. It's a Kawasaki STX-12F, 1200cc four cylinder engine. Thanks

Answer 1

That is an expensive machine for a novice to learn how to become a mechanic.

Not trying to be mean or anything, but if your first mechanical foray into it resulted in flooding the engine, you probably need to have a pro take over.

The crankcase will also need to be drained/checked and an oil change done. The generator will also need to be checked for water as well.

Bite the bullet and take it to the shop.

Answer 2

Pull the spark plugs and turn and hit the starter.  The water will pump out. Hydro lock is when the cylinders are full of water and water will not compress.
