[QUOTE="Skiffing, post: 393145, member: 15889"] 2000 Merc 40 ELPT 4s carb got slammed from foward to reverse @ maybe 1200 - 1500 rpm. My son with his cousin driving......... both 13 yo and stoopid . Engine stalled and they couldn't it started - got towed to dock by Good Samaritan who got it started by pumping idle lever. Anyway they made it to the ramp and brought it home. I started to flush w/ fresh water and fired right up. Shroud off no knocks or pings. Planned for tomorrow: Check lower unit gear oil for water and metal. Anything else before I dunk it for a test run? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
