Well after having hours of none stop rain,for it then to go off I took my 9 to work yesterday,only for it to rain again and flood alot of roads. The roads home from work were inches deep in places which did not agree with the ek9 at all! Struggling above 2,000 rpm,judeering and white smoke/steam out the exhaust!

Hasn't been started since it was turned off yesterday about 1.30pm. You guys think it will be alright to start? Pretty scared to incase it's ******!
 
Did you have a cold air intake? filter prob blocked up with water.
Dunx
 
I'd take the plugs out and give it a blow out just incase there is a bit water in there.

Whack your intake on the radiator for a few hours too :)
 
Yeah it's got a whale's carbon kevlar intake. I'll take the filter off to dry and whip the plugs out and tturn the engine over and hopefully it should be alright!
 
Gutted for you mate hope you get it sorted. The weather was ******* mental yesterday needed an outboard motor and a hull not a lowered 9.
 
Yeah tell me about it! Should be fine with a dry out. I'll get the plugs out after dinner n get the filter dried off!
 
Stay in Westhill mate but came from along South Deeside Road from Garthdee to Culter then over to Westhill. Corners were fine,it was the 47 lakes I had to wade through to get home!
 
Haha not good! The roads were wild. Thought the 9 would have been alright to go to work in first thing cos it was just raining,then from 10am until I left work at 1 it flooded roads everywhere!
 
Yeah! Theres a bad right hander there after a bit of a straight,on the way to alford. Soo many folk go off into the parks on the left hand side. I've never thought it was that bad but folk crash there almost daily!
