  1. Hi new member here and my first post so hello all ! I recently got flooded out and my ryobi chainsaw was underwater for maybe half a day. I partially stripped it down, dried out and put back together. After a bit faffing new fuel/spark and some carb cleaner i got it to fire up and it now starts okay, quickly settling down to a steady idle. My question is this - should i be concerned about water ingress to main bearings and motor ? Will the bearings run dry or are the motor casings watertight ? Its a cheap chainsaw and i really don't want to tear it down (might not go back together again) anyways - any advice most welcome stu
