Hi all,

I've been out riding and on a river crossing the bike stopped. After a short time it started ok again and I figured the water that was causing the problem had evaporated with a warm engine so wasn't too concerned. Since getting home I've found a bit of water in where the magneto is and there's water in the crankcase as well. I thought the covers were sealed pretty well. I was thinking maybe the seals/gaskets up around the carby, reed valves and barrel but have no idea really. Otherwise it's running fine and I've cleaned it out and changed the oil but have to sort that out as it's a long walk home if I get stuck.

Any pointers here appreciated.

Ta,

Gordo
