All right you guys, I've been hangin around this forum for a while now and have benefitted from much of the info you guys have shared. My 2003 Rincon has gotten a little bit more water friendly each time I do something that I read about here but it still dies from what seems to be an electrical issue. I have put dialectric grease in the plug cap, the fuse box back by the battery, every electrical connector that I can reach and get apart. I have installed a rubber diaphram that completely isolates the intake from steam/water.
I can go through water about seat level for about 30feet and then the motor dies no mattter what I do. If I am not under deep water, the bike starts right back up as though it never quit.
I told everybody that I was not going to modify this bike when I bought it so I have been resisting modifications like a snorkle for the intake or the exhaust but if it would fix this pesky problem, I would go for it and eat my words later!
If you don't mind a little redundance, (since I know most of this has been discussed in bits and pieces in the past,) let me know what you did to your Rincon before it behaved in deeper water.
Thanks again for your help.
