I know this question was asked on the froums before but i really didnt pay much attetion to it because it didn't happen to me yet. Well now i has and i was woundering what u pred guys did to fix it. This is what happens...... i drive into deep water where the engine is under it and then it starts to bog out and then dies can u help me?

 

There are a few clear lines coming off the side of the carb, relocate them (so that they don't touch water) and it will run like a champ in the water...

 

BTW, they cant be "pinched" that means no sharp bends etc....

 

i really dont know anything anout the pred.,im guessing your vent lines went under water and it sucked some in?

 

sweet thanks!

 

you beat me to it trailrider

JJJJJJJJ, Your welcome anytime man...

 

Mine did the same thing, but if you cant get it to start up again (like me), then you have an AIR LOCK. to solve this, take out of spark plug and drip a couple drops of gas in the cylinder, also drain your carb. then reconnect the gas tank and start the sucka up and your runnin strong again.

ANOUTHER THING TO CHECK FOR ALL PRED OWNERS: when I got mine, the spark plug gap was WRONG from the factory. the manual says the gap to .038 mm. the first time this happneded to me, just to check, I checked the spark plug gap and it ws only set to .028 mm. Just thought that was a little wierd.

 

trailrider500 thanks man it runs like a champ just like u said!

 

You might also be getting water in the airbox, If thats not it then it is prob the vents
