engine runs horrible after getting it wet??
#1
so i went out on sat and rode some trails that were loaded with puddles, nothing above the seat, but deeper than ive ever hit, so after i go through the first couple of big puddles, my engine spits, sputters, and cuts out on me? so i pull the boot off the plug and theres water in it, i dried it out and it ran better but not great, throughout the day this just kept getting worse the more puddles i went through, i had to baby the throttle because under load the engine would sputter badly and lose power, i hoped it would have dried out by itself but today it still runs very rough, i blew out as many connectors as i could and put dialectric grease on inside the plug boot to no avail, im thinking water must be somewhere?(none in the airbox thankfully) any idea of what to do, or what parts to replace, ive never had this happen before, thanks!

you probably got some water in your gas tank- is your vent tube on properly?
Just flush your tank out- drain the carbs (remove the jets)- maybe some carb cleaner in the jets- new plug(s) and a little dry gas- should clear it up- check your
case oil for moisture also-

Let us know how it goes. Did it help? As you could see on my video, my son's Wolvy was up to headlights deep. It runs good.

hopefully he's figured it out? my suggestion woulda been that the plug needs replacing, and he should put some die-electric grease on the plug wire? plug wire could be going bad, i know this happens in cars where when the plug wires get wet the vehicle will barely run if the wires are going bad
