I know when i get frustrated and have my own Opinions on stuff i wont listen to anyone--Im not saying thats what your doing but i know how I am when i get POed !!!!
Did you rejet it ?
Did you Raise the Needle height and lean it out ?
Did you change the Plug ?
Did you pull the Spark arrestor out ?
The Water crossing and Sputtering is caused by steam that thickens the air coming into the Intake and Overely richens the fuel Circuit of the Engine and Maybe going to fast thru the water ! ,, HAve you tried taking the Snorkel off and then crossing some water
these four things are Possible even if you think they arent,,the old saying that if a plug looks good then its good isnt so.
I have to stop and think it out --I learned along time AGO that the problem is probally staring me in the face but im so ticked off that i cant see it
Ive got 25 years under my Belt of working Jetting issues and running problems

I appreciate your desire to help, I rejetted the main jet to the new spec for my alt and temp 142.5, raised needle clip for the bottom to middle position, put in new spark plug, new air filter, it stopped sputtering on take off after that, however this problem of sputtering and losing power when getting wet is the final straw, i will not have a quad that can't go in less than 2' of water without sputtering it's ridiculous, it may be steam doing it, but my options of where to route the snorkel where it wouldn't catch steam are very limited as far as i can see. It was originally bought for my two kids to ride, but they couldn't stand it so i got stuck trying to make use of it, it's not working, it frustrates and embarasses me everytime i ride with friends. I should be getting the title in less than a month and i'll put it up for sale, sure i'll take a loss but i'll be done with it and free to get something that handles water better.
