Been awhile since I flushed my 2-stroke jetski and the flushing procedure is the opposite of my boat. Whereas, the engine must be running before water is turned on. Once I figured out I was doing it wrong, I pulled the plugs and sprayed fogging oil in the cylinders and then turned over the motor in hopes to displace and or evacuate any water that might have gotten into the engine. No water came out of the spark plug holes so I was hoping I'm okay?
I did flush the motor properly and it ran fine on the trailer so I'm hoping the bearings and such are fine? After the fact, I checked my service manual and saw the warning not to turn on the water without the motor running.
I plan to do compression test, but for now all I did was use temp gun on the cylinder heads while it was idling and they were all pretty much even and sub 100* at idle on the hose.
I did run the motor after water had been going through it without running before I figured out I made the mistake and removed the plugs to pump out any water as previously described.Can anyone confirm one way or another if this would for sure have done damage or not?
