A friend of mine yesterday, rode his Honca CR 125 into a deep swamp and drowned his bike. All we did was turn it upside-down and remove the spark plug, allow the exhaust pipe to drain and let the water out of the carb bowl. We were able to get it running using lnly a chrescent wrench and the burping described above. He was thrilled tobe riding his bike back to the truck instead of pushing. There was some evedence of water leakage into the crankcase, but as soon as we got it back to the garage, we drained and replaced the oil.
That was a Honda, would it be any different for a Gas gas EC or MC 250?
Is the crankcase on a Gasser sealed, thereby making thegears and clutch internals leak tight from water intrution (unlike my friends Honda)? Also, is there really a drain-plug on the underside of the crank case (not the oil drain-plug) for draining water taken into the cylinder? I have my PV vent routed up to behind the front numberplate. What additional tricks could I use to make my gasser more watertight/waterproof?
