NEED HELP!!!

[joedirt5724]

i was rideing today and i was running through some water. When i crawled though the water slow it was ok, but if i hit the water moving fast it would stall and then run really sh*tty, until it dried off, the it was fine, i really need to figure out whats happening, so i really need some input!!!! thanks

are you running with your airbox lid off?.

 

[joedirt5724]

no i run with a k&n air filter with the lid on, the intake hose under the seat seems to stay pretty dry also

Maybe the coil was getting sprayed causing missfire. Or somehow a ground was shorting.

 

[joedirt5724]

thats sorta what i was thinking but im not sure. Do u think it could have anything to do with water gettin in the gas??? but it does sorta seem liek a spark thing to me cause it was almost like shorting out.

maybe you gotta leak somewhere its getting in

 

[joedirt5724]

im really not sure, but from what knowledge i have it seems like a spark thing how it just kills it almost instantly. So im gunna try the grounds and check for any lose wires and things of that nature.

Maybe the wires if the oil tank was removed, or the tail light. Those open ends could be one place. I was riding my suzuki the other day and the plug wire loosend up in the boot. It would start chugging just like if I was flipping the kill switch on/off real fast. Quads usually dont have any problems like that until you get up to the air filter or electrical in water.

 

[joedirt5724]

I'm gunna go through the wiring tomorrow and checkout all the connections and redo the grounds and see if it makes it any better, should i heat shrink the connections??????
