I had my 400 HO exhaust underwater or about the height... The quad has stalled twice from this... Is it stalling because the exhaust under water or from connection getting wet?? I have a 500 HO that could idle under water all day...Any ideas??

 

Temporarily vent your exhaust up out of water and see if happens again! Could be a little of both! Electronics dont like water and air that goes in must come out! Good luck

 

could be thiers not enough exhaust outlet pressure to push the water out. if you had it reved up would it still stall?

 

I think it might be electrical getting wet...I went in some deep water doing some water wheellies and nothing happened.... but i didnt stop to much and when i did i didnt want it to stall so i rev it up.... but it didnt stall the little while well i did sit there... maybe a one time thing...

 

dont feel bad, i recently found oil in my starter recoil case. not impressed at 144 miles.

 

which quad??

 

800's dont have recoils.

 

Is there not supposed to be a small amount of fluid in there if you remove the cover entirely?

 

theres supposed to be no oil in there that im aware off. its where your electronics are. imo.

 

I could have sworn that the service manual stated a small amont of fluid would drian out if the recoil start cover was removed. Sorry about that. Guess I need to go check again. Thats why I havent addressed mine yet.
