I was having issues a few summers ago with flooding.
On three seperate occasions it flooded and shut down. Coasted to the side pulled the top of the carb, cleared and was able to get home.
One time I was in a pep boys parking lot with my son who was 4 at the time.
Well I learned to keep a small roll of left over jute pad behind the seat.
If I work over the hot engine I'll lay it over the rad tank or other areas.
Also if you ever have to change a tire it makes a good knee pad over hot asphalt in summer time. (desert climate)
