Hey everyone - first post. I couldn't find it in the search history but I'm sure it has been discussed before...

Water seems to have entered my fuel tank. I went for a rip and the engine quit shortly after the good fuel in the line was burned. Then the contaminated water fuel came I couldn't get it going again. (I didn't realize water was in the tank but I should've checked)

What is the procedure to flush the engine? I have discarded the old fuel and mixed new fuel but I'm sure something should be done on the engine side to flush it as well.

Thanks for any suggestions.
