Title: hydrauliced a ..............
Post by: j99mud on August 23, 2006, 17:11:55: chainsaw! i cant belive i have managed to do it but i dropped a running chainsaw (chain break was on) straight into a pond needless to say it wasnt running for long! took it apart and got about half a cup of water out of the engine, i have a spark and compression but it wont run, i took it to the local dealer and they think it will be ok and say to drain the fuel and the carb! they got it to fire once but they were bussy so couldnt really do much!
regards James
