For a submerged push mower:

  • Pull off the air filter and open the gas tank.
  • Hose it off with PLENTY of fresh water...fresh water can't do it any more damage than the dirty water did.
  • Let it dry.
  • Drain the gas tank.
  • Change the air filter.
  • Change the oil.
  • Change the spark plug. Turn the motor through a revolution to be sure that there is no water in the combustion chamber before you put the new plug back in.
  • Fill the tank with 10% to 20% gasohol...the alcohol will dry the fuel system.

Newer mowers ought to start on the 2nd or 3rd pull. Older mowers may require that you pull the flywheel and dry out the points. All of this presumes that your mower has not been submerged long enough that corrosion has begun.

Is it redundant to write submerged under water when submerged means to descend under the water's surface?

It would only be redundant if the context had already made it unambiguous that it was water. It is possible to be submerged under any liquid: for example french fries are cooked submerged under hot oil (they can't be cooked submerged under hot water).Yes, "submerged underwater" is redundant. Submerged under anything is redundant since the prefix "sub-" means "under." In most cases, the use of "submerged" alone is sufficient. In case there is some question about the substance something is submerged in (not necessarily liquid, not necessarily tangible), you might occasionally have use for "submerged in water."
