Hi All,
Brand new to the forum. Did a search on water killing the motor and mostly found intake solutions. I'm not worried about the in take as we are running the snorkle set up.
Snorkle tube (carb too) is dry and clean after dying from hitting standing water (deep) fast. My son has DNF'ed on two races so far due to this problem.
Today I ran the motor spraying the head, carb, plug (using NGK plug boot), oil injector plate, intake housing, all with no issue or stutter.
Tonight I pulled the carb and intake and found that the reed cage and reeds we coated with a gray, oil/water mix. Please confirm if this might be my problem or please offer any other things I may want to chase down.
I do change the tranny oil every 2 or so races (will need to bump that up). It's a pretty stock bike, my son races hare scrambles in up state NY, latest race had nearly 3 inches of rain throughout the day.
Any advice would greatly apprieciated.
