I learned the hard way. Looking forward to learning from you. Thanks again.
Opps not good....... :oops: :oops: :oops:
But welcome to the Shop!!! Be sure to post photos of your machines and I do not think the motor is hurt. You might need to take it off and flip it upside down and see if you can drain the excess off, but just running it might do the trick also!! Just have the window open when you do it so you do not smoke the place up. :-D
