water in fuel question

[dirty d]

If the water seperator is crapped out and water gets into the carbs, and the carbs are not supposed to let water pass through the jets, how is it the #1 plug is getting water beads on it? In the event that the plugs were out and water from the hose gets inside the plug hole would it have the same symptoms as water in the carb?

Re: water in fuel question

first off, don't hose your engine with the plugs out. if you did and you got water in the plugholes, turn the motor over a bit to blow the water out before you put the plugs back in. water is not compressable and you will kill your engine trying to run it filled with water. With reguards to water in your fuel, carbs do not have a water sepperator built into them and they do not strain out water. if water is in your fuel, it will go thru your carbs. Replace the fuel/water sepperator and run your motor ensuring you have good, fresh, water-free gas. If you are still getting water in the motor I'd be concerned about a crack in your engine's cooling jacket.

The most common cause of water on a spark plug is a leaky gasket or crack in the exhaust divider plate. Cooling water spraying BACK inside the exhaust port.

Pull the exhaust cover and carefully inspect.

On the inline 125 water on cylinders 1-4 is either a exhaust plate, chipped reed or cracked cylinder liner. Cylinders 5 & 6 is usually lower crank seals.
