I have not experienced it with a 582 but have with a 670 Rotax in a snowmobile.
It ran on one cylinder. The right carb bowl was full of water. I put some
gas dryer in the fuel tank and it ran good about seven miles then started running
on one cylinder again. The same carb bowl was full of water.
I have no idea why only one carb was getting the water and it was the same carb
each time.
There was about a quart of water in the fuel tank when I drained it. Do not archive.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the tip.. I have a sump drains on wings and on header tank but
wondered if it was similar to a 4 stroke or total shutdown on a 2 stroke.

water sucked in the air intake of a carb wouldn't end up in the float bowl.
an engine will tolerate some water in the air intake.iv wouldn't want to
find out how much.

I am planning on installing grove gear on my model II. I will need to
add the float mounting bracket and was looking for any help on how to
weld this with minimal fabric damage. Any help would be appreciated.
