Default Eton and water dont mix! Any IDEAS!

Etons 90 do not run thru puddles! Air box is sealed . OK ..... and but magnetoes get wet. Any ideas?
It cost my little guy 1st place on a 3 event day race. Any good snorkle kits out there for intake and cooling?

in muddy areas I run a snorkel I made out of a radiator hose with a little more than a 90 degree bend and inside diameter that fits on carb. Comes out of carb about 3-4 inches and turns up 18" or so and puts the uni pod filter up under the front of the nose of the bike right in the middle in front of the steering stem under the hollow cavity of the front plastic. Bike still has all the power as filter directly to carb and we use it when duneing also to keep sand away from filter as much as possible. As far as cooling intake look at a Polaris Sportsman 90 fan intake with it's snorkel it should work. If you PM me you'r EMAIL Addr. I'll send you a pic of the snorkel for the intake. Then you'll have to work on the CVT cover as it's vented also.

there is no way to seal the stator area of the asian mini quads, the snorkle on the predator looks good but actually does nothing. just have to keep them out of deep water.

Are you kidding me, a puddle will shut the Eton down? I don't know if my SP 90 is built the same way, but my son's been splashing through creeks (3-6 in. deep) making rainbow's of water and it keeps on going. Not one bit of trouble. Are we talking the same thing?
