i have just bought a 250 bayou and it runs great until the water starts coming in,in my last trail ride in ocala national forest i was goin 10mph and i hit water about 10inches deep and water shoots over the top and it gets in the air intake and sputters so i say its "not a problem"cause thats the first time and then about 1hr later swoosh water gets in again and it starts to sputter again has anyone had this sort of problem with there bayou 220-or 250?

 

I've had this problem with my 250 and my lakota. I found on the 250 you need to squeeze the air box drain almost always when riding in water. It's just a little bit of water in the box that either splashes up and goes in the carb or if you go in more water it happans worse.

Yours sounds alot worse than mine ever was but it still happen.

 

I've got a '97 model of the Bayou 220 (very much the same unit) and I've never had this problem.
