One month ago entered water in the tank. I took all the mix out with a pump. I filled half tank with new gas and added some water removers. I proceeded to crank it and never started, till the starter got burned and the battery died.
After a month I bought brand new starter and battery and installed them.
Tried to crank it but it seems that the engine is too heavy. Is it possible that the water in the pistons made the engine hard to move ?
What can I do just to make it crank and after that to take care of the initial "water in the tank" problem???
Thank you.
