Aloha!
I'm back from the buse of South Laos, North East Cambodia.
I will not be botherd anout lowering the compression, as the bike deals with bad feul well, and automaticaly retard the ignition a bit. After a few days on bad petrol, just blast a few hundred Km on tar, with resunable feul, and it will clean itself from the carbon, and work great.
I did not change the intake shnorkel, and yes, had water into the engine last week, when crossing a 80Cm deep river. Luckly, there was a small shop just across the river, so after draying the engine (Took out the spark plugs) and starting, i've changed the contaminated oil, and all's well again.
The snorkel it badly laid out- Too low. but mind you, I was surprise haw easy it was to turn off the engine, plug the shnorkel with a plastiuc bag, and...push it across. maybe one can fit a simple rubber house over the snorkel end, and pull it next to the handelbars. Simple, and I think it can work.
Greetings from Cambodia,
Adam.
P.S. Ben, the parcel has left the building
