ok, so my 06 wolverine 450 is lifted on 26's, fully snorkeled, hmf pipe and jetted. i went out to go mudding and when i hit deep water and go into a wheely, the bike wants to stall out instantly. on dry ground i put my 4wheeler in the same position, (10 and 11 o'clock), and it runs fine. why when it hits water does it want to stall? my only goes is that the float is too high and its flooding itself, but if that was the case then why would it not stall on dry ground? any help is greatly appreciated

 

maybe because when you do a wheelie it puts the pipe down into the water and causes it to stall out, also make sure the snorkel isnt leaking, and that electrical connections are water proofed.

 

as long as the engine runs, the exhaust won't make the motor cut out. i was out at a mud event over the weekend and 100's of bikes were doing the same thing i was without any problems. electrical is all fine. the plug never got wet, the drain is fine, the snorkels are all sealed. i think i may have gotten water in the carb vent. not sure but i'm gonig to run a new line to the top of the snorkel and them test it. if that don't fix it then i think the float may be too high. those are the only 2 conclusions i can think of

 

Did you fill your spark plug boot with dielectric greese?

 

yea, it happened before and after i did it. the spark plug never got wet
