I was always told that if gaffer tape doesn't fix it, it probably wasn't broken in the first place

Mine was left submerged for 2 weeks before i managed to retrieve, as others have said washed everything with water, then wd40. filled cylinder with oil etc. One problem that i recently had was a blocked carb, admittedly i didn't completely strip post submersion but all now working fine and in a better maintained state than she was prior
Been involved with similar cases.
I did have a concern that the CDI unit would pack up, but I know of at least one motor immersed for several days that was giving good service 5 years later.
They probably corrode more festering in the shed all winter.
