Just curious if anyone has ever experienced water sucked through the carb on 

a 582 and whether it will cause a shut down or stutter or what?

I have not experienced it with a 582 but have with a 670 Rotax in a snowmobile.  It ran on one cylinder.  The right carb bowl was full of water.  I put some gas dryer in the fuel tank and it ran good about seven miles then started running on one cylinder again.  The same carb bowl was full of water.



I have no idea why only one carb was getting the water and it was the same carb each time.



There was about a quart of water in the fuel tank when I drained it.  Do not archive.

Hi Tom,



Thanks for the tip..  I have a sump drains on wings and on header tank but 

wondered if it was similar to a 4 stroke or total shutdown on a 2 stroke.

water sucked in the air intake of a carb wouldn't end up in the float bowl. an engine will tolerate some water in the air intake.iv wouldn't want to find out how much.
