I Have found out the hard way that you can't follow trucks with 18' of lift and tractor tires through a water pit 3 feet deep. When the engine finally stalled out there was water in the bed. Thanks to the mule being so indestructable and a sober friend who happend to be a master mechanic, we had it running just like new in 1 1/2 hours.

This brings me to my qeustion. Having the air intake at the top of the roll bars is a great idea. The problem is when the flywheel gets submerged, it sputters and then stalls out. Also the caps on the sparkplugs are a little loose and tend to groud out when completly soaked. I can confirm that because if you grab the caps when they are wet it will give you a healthy shock.

Are there any options out there that will make the Mule walk through water up to your neck when your driving it?

 

I thought I had read in another Forum that although the air intake is at the top that the bottom of the pipe was open to a degree enough to let water in. Read that they'll had filled both sides at the bottom with something to seal this. Sorry if I'm off the mark, I can't find the exact spot of this but couldn't have made it up

 

Thanks. I know what your talking about, i think. its the little valve type drain at the bottom of the airbox. i've found that it works pretty good but the problem i think is really happening is the ignition system is getting too wet and causing a sputter and stall. im wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
