pull the plug,,,,squirt a small amount of oil in the spark plug hole and crank it a bit to flush water from the cylinder (stand it on end)

basicly you need to replace all the fluids and possibly flush the oil a time or 2

clean the h2o out of the carbs,,,,,electrical.....and give it a grease job

air filter

so on

I sunk my old 400ex in Brushcreek one day, i made the mistake of gettin it running and driving it back to the truck, i dunno what i was thinkin, Too much to drink that day i think lol, but it junked it pretty much, it smoked like a freight train and had to have a full rebuild.
