Arch,
This sounds like a great idea. As for the water
shuting down the engine....I hope mine will run
through a rain storm...And Im sure I wont have to
worry about a gallon of water spraying on the engine.
Im also sure if Im pulling a hill My engine would
be plenty hot enough to dryout any water that
gets there. Heck, A little water in the carb would
help eliminate a pre-detonation problem in the
cylinders if ya got one.
