If you have the spark plug timing tool you can use it to determine if a hydrolock has occurred. We use about a 10mm spacer threaded onto the tool and bring the #4 cylinder to TDC and make a mark on the scale. Then install the tool into Cyls 5,6, & 7. respectively and measure the scale readings at TDC. Any more than 6 "tic" marks variation from the #4 scale mark is cause for inspection.
