I know this question has been asked but I haven't found an answer yet. I have dielectric greased everything and it still spits and sputters when I hit water. Has anybody found something to prevent my wheeler from stalling when hitting water.

sounds like you have a cut or pin size hole in your spark plug cap . check it in the dark of night for small sparks against the side of the head by the plug cap .

I'll try that but I don't think it will work. I've sprayed that area with a hose when its running and I can't get it to act like it does when I'm riding.

You are getting water in your CDI box connections.
The CDI box is mounted on the frame under the right front fender(throttle side). It's a small rectangular box(4"x3"x1").
Remove the connector from the CDI box and clean both ends. Apply dielectric grease to the connections and re-install. I also place heat-shrink over the connection and constrict it. Anything that can stop water from splashing up on it will help.

Hope this helps.
