Anybody else have problems with your drive belt slipping after going through water?? Is there a way to prevent or lessen this problem of your belt getting wet?

 

You need to verify the seals on the belt cover are OK as well as the connections to the air intake and exhaust on the clutch enclosure. The clutch cover is sometimes prone to warping.....if it is, even a new seal will not keep the water out.

 

You usually can't hit water at a high speed. I made a small mod that made a big difference on my belt exhaust. The stock exhaust is in a direct line with the front tire and all the water that flies off of it. Using only the bottom of a quart oil container, I made a guard that directs the exhaust to the right (towards the engine). This prevents splashing water into the belt housing. I might be able to get some pics of it soon.
After doing that and learning how the Scrambler wants to be driven in water, it can go in very deep water. With no snorkles, some skill, and maybe a little luck, the Scrambler floats upright without slipping the belt. I've had mine floating for a short time in my lake then drove out with no problems.
