[QUOTE="bud, post: 166230, member: 16160"] Clw, I have just gone thru something similar - muddy water getting thru the air filter which scratched up the piston and cylinder, as well getting in the carb and making the throttle stick open :silly:. I don't use no toil though. I use motul, which has been great until I started doing deep water crossings. My impression is that once water gets sucked thru the filter once, it will get thru much more quickly the second time. Two things I am going to try are covering the holes on the sides and bottom of the airbox with some sort of mesh that lets air thru, but not water. Also a different, thicker oil. The motul oil is as thin as water, though it gets tacky after a minute or two. I think what may be happening is, though the filter gets completely submerged in oil, I squeeze it out before it gets tacky. That might be leaving patches of the filter that don't have enough oil on them, ie where water could get thru more easily. I think that would be less likely to happen with a thicker oil. [/QUOTE]
