i raced a 2003 predator this last weekend, and it was real muddy and a lot of water puddles. i hit the water puddle and my engine died. restarted after a minute and took off again. the next time i hit it again, died again, this time it would not start again. iv'e rerouted my carb vent holes up as high as i could under the seat. do you think this is what caused it to die on me. or did something else electical get wet and kill it. after being towed back to trailer, it started fine again. any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

 

it was probably the vents... i remember when that first happened to me.... my pred was about... meh.. 9 hours old and it stalled in a puddle... i was pissed... i sat in the puddle for like 30 mis trying to start it... finally said screw it, jumped in the 18 inch puddle and started to push it home... like half way i was dead tired and tried starting it and it started right up... i was baffled.

 

My buddy's 03 also does this, it seems like when the water gets where his cdi box is, it will stall out. But then it will start back up if you push it out. My other buddy's 04 does not do this, and my 05 does not, must be something with the 03.
