Answer #7

I’m guessing the problem is water or mud gets onto the distributor cap and then the engine dies. perhaps a modified coffee can (metal not plastic) will do the trick.

yeahh and water gets up in my starter and it shorts, and water gets down in my carb… only needed to make that mistake once. thanks for the coffee can tip, ill try it. and im working on a home made snorkle, thats not goin to good
