Charles, I'd be wary of wading in deep water with less than a Grasshopper.
Updraft carbs have a rather low intake, not much above hub centre, but not as bad as Kevin Martin's wife's new Renault Clio that we borrowed for a lunchtime trip to the Wheatsheaf at Marsh Green, Edenbridge a few years ago.
The winter flood was only ankle deep.
So was the air intake.
The engine hydrolocked.
Two bent con rods and as far as I remember not repaired on warranty.
