do people actually get problems with water. ive fully submerged my engine on quite a few occasions and never had a problem. spluttered a couple of times but not even enough to really affect performance

Its one of those things with petrol engines, some of them are better than others, i only ever gloved the coil on mine to protect it from any spray and it was usually fine as the dizzy's are pretty high up and out the way and as long as the seal is good they dont let much water in. having good HTleads helps too old ones dont like water :lol: thats what happened below :lol:
