Snorkel+Carb=Puddle Pirate?

[oreopenguin536]

Alright, yet another question I can't find any info on….. Is it possible to snorkel a carb? I would think it is but would it starve for air? Or would the thing even stay on? Every time I went to play and splash in puddles (2-5 feet) the air filter would get SOOAAKKEEDD and the truck would die out

Yes you can snorkel carburators as people do it all the time but if you are playing in water enough to get the air cleaner soaked you need to be making sure other stuff is just as protected.

other stuff meaning belts, electric fan etc. oorr??? I had the idea of fabing a skid plate type splash guard but I'm not even sure how that would work

Other stuff meaning ignition system and electrical circuits necessary for the truck to continue running.

Great timing. I am wanting to do the same thing with mine. There are some big puddles I wanna go play in but worried about drowning her. Aside from the snorkel and diff breather hoses what all would I have to waterproof
