There was a consensus on the MCML several years ago about using distilled water down the carb. About half a bottle slowly, then pour the rest in, stalling the engine, at least if I remember right. Give it 10 minutes and then fire it up and run it. Long drive afterward was recommended to ensure that the oil was dry.
There was concern about hydrolock which those that did it never seemed to encounter. I'd think there might be issues with cracking things too, though that never came up at the time. Maybe it was recommended to do on the first start near immediately? Would have to pull my archives out. Not sure I'd try it on the 914, even excluding the FI predicament. - Soak it in a liquid and wirebrush it? |
