water in engine oil-yamaha 200

[shekky]

My oil fill resevoir was submerged in rain water and appears to have taken on water. The engine was running about 15 minutes before smoking and shutting down. This is a Yamaha 200 year 2000 with 150 hrs. Any recommendations and prognosis for the engines future?

Shekky,<br /><br />Not good.<br /><br />You can get your engines oiling system back in order annd try to run it. Clean and bleed the system thoroughly. Run it on a pre-mix of 50:1 until you verify oil useage.<br /><br />However, I do not think the prospects are good, by your description of events.

You need to get the carbs cleaned out and get that engine running on pre-mix ASAP. The longer moisture stays inside that engine, the more likely damage will occur. Worry about the oiling system later. Get that engine running.
