Your supposed to have it running before you turn your hose. Pull your plugs and put a little oil down the cylinders, and check to make sure no water went up into the carb. crank it over without the plugs in it to get the water out, then go buy a few plugs and even try a little fuel down each cylinder. Once you have it running, then put water to it, and if it does again then you should change your gaskets
