Get three big guys to help you...........one for each wheel.......literally!

First, remove or drain the fuel tank.

Second, remove the sump drain plug (as though you were changing the oil) and drain the engine oil.

Next, remove the spark plug(s), air cleaner (and carbs, if you're technically inclined)

Put the engine in gear, (a high one...like third or fourth) and if the engine has a clutch, leave it engaged and get your buddies to help you push the vehicle slowly along the road, watching for fluid coming out the bottom.

Last, and this is my favorite, each man grabs a wheel and turns that sucker upside down. That will drain any last vestiges of water that may have been lurking in the carbs (if you left them on) and/or cylinders.

Let the whole thing sit for a day (put a fan on it if you like.....just to dry out all your wiring harnesses that I assume went for the same bath as the engine!!)

Do the above steps in reverse order (fill engine oil and gas tank, etc) and see if it'll start.

If not...........see your friendly, local dealer!

Good luck.
