Riva Intercooler Question aka What A Weekend
Ok I just cleaned out my Riva Intercooler and when I hooked it back up I forgot to hook up one clamp no biggeee as its still on the trailer and I have it hooked up to a hose checking for leaks and making sure the dang J tube and pissers are getting water, but I noticed it blowing water out the intake line going to the throttle body. Is this normal or is there a rupture in the intercooler allowing the cooling water into the intake? Help I need to know as its hot and I want to ride.
Thanks,

you shouldn't have any water entering the intake. Are you a salt water rider?

NO its strictly a freshwater machine. All I have done is cleaned it out or I should say flushed it out with water and a all metal radiator cleaner mixed very dilute and then promptly flushed with regular water. It had allot of Milfoil and other crap in it though as I strained what came out and there was no metal or rust so what the????

there have been a lot of these riva intercoolers leaking. How much water is coming out of the intake/exit of the intercooler? Sounds like you have a leaking core. You run the risk of hydro locking the engine if you run it like this.

look at your radiator cleaner container and see if it is safe for aluminum. some acids eat up aluminum very quickly. phosphoric acid based cleaner like CLR is what is safe.
