Huh , not the drain lines, the bowl plug, plugs them off

40 bucks and a few hours labor and ur snorkeled

Use a car cv boot for the oval belt cover to snorkel tube, use a 3 inch to 2 inch rubber adapter for air box to snorkel tube

Unless the air box lid seal is bad, should be good, I never had a issue
. On a keihin carb the drain lines off the float bowls can actually suck water back into the carb. If your float sticks open and overfills the bowl the fuel will come out the drain line. Hence water can get back in. Most cat guys use a one way check valve on them. Some guys plug them with a golf tee. Personally I use the check valve so if my float sticks ,fuel can still escape instead of pouring all over my hot engine

I swamped the 2001 450 Honda a few times when it was still fairly new. I just pulled the plug and rolled the starter over to remove water. I removed the vent hose from the case to the carb box and the milky oil steamed itself back to clear oil by the time back to camp. I changed oil at camp once and drove it. I still have the quad which now has around 6000 km's on it and runs great.
