He is up in crivits Wisconsin. I contacted a friend with cabin close by. He is not there but trying to contact some friends in area. Anybody else in area?

I’d highly recommend you tear the engine down as soon as you get it out. If it can’t happen immediately then try to get all the water out and get it fired but I’d still fog it and tear it down. It’s very difficult to get all the water out unless it comes completely apart. It’ll collect in the bottom cap and eventually ruin a crank

If you happen to make contact again, wish him and his son well from the S&F community....
