ive got a 06 rubicon and everytime i take it in water up to the bottom of the seat the thing dies. last time i checked the air box not a stitch of water and every time i do this i have to drain the carb bowl to get it running again. if anyone else here has had this problem and found out how to fix her drop a line

by the way excellent machine. have 27 inch itp 589s front and back brush guards 2500 warn underground scoop lights front and back(2 back 1 front) only 4 months old and already 2400 kms

 

If water gets in the air box, it's probably sucking it right on through to the carb and not stopping at the filter, I wouldn't get into that much water with my 07, just don't like the idea of water in the engine. If you want to run in deep water, you should put a snorkel on.

 

Two things,

Did you extend your carb vents?

Put a little bottle on the carb over flow so that it causes a air gap" hard to explain"

My rubicon with my mini snorkel and the above is awsome in the water.

Yes, as goattrotter said extend the vent line from your carb. There is a small rubber line coming from the bottom of your carb. Remove it and replace with one that will reach your handle bar area. Move it up as high as possible.

 

Rinman,
I thought I saw two of those lines coming from the carb??

Wouldn't an 06 have efi?, There shouldn't be any carb with a hose on the bottom of it should there?
