Hey Guys,
Almost there but I ran into a new problem. I reinstalled the carb and was ready to try starting but.....when I turn on the gas it immediately starts flowing out the overflow tube on the carb. What did I do wrong when I put it back together? Thanks, Sam

The float is stuck allowing fule to flow freely. Try and tap the carb with a hammer or mallet lightly. If that does not free it up take it apart and make sure nothing it caught up.

WHEW ok I can't thank you guys enough! I took apart the carb again resprayed everything with carb cleaner and blew it all out with compressed air...reinstalled and it worked like it should, MAN that carb is a pain to shoehorn in and out of position. After that I confirmed the bike was getting a good spark, and it took about 5 kicks but it started! I just let it sit and idle and revved it for a while, ill put all the plastic back on and take it for a ride in the morning. Ran fine little rough im guessing from the blown reed valve. Thanks again guys you saved my bike from the scrap heap!
Sam

Now you just stay away from still deep water and you will never have to go through that again, but sometimes its hard not to.

glad to hear the good news....
i was absolutley sick to my stomach when my 300 went underwater and died..... first time I have ever done that. If it is a question at all now, I get off and walk the crossing first.

water and bearing = bad
I just did the same thing last week , I try to flush the water by remouving the spark pluk and kick kick kick. Re-start the bike and after 1 minute the engine seize. The main roller bearing seize on the crank godd the engine was only at idles. Cost me a rebuilt the engine over , Two bearing, seal and gasket. look at the bearing
Next time I will make sure that all water in out of the crankcase. Eric
