I went to advance auto parts and got som electrical grease in a airasol can and sprade it in every conecter ther is. I am going riding thes weekend. If thes dont work I am going to get me a cooler to put all my elec. stuf in under the seeat. If that dont work Im going around the mud holes!!!

Mine doesn't go dead but it does barely keep running. It is wierd because if you pick it up just enough to get the exhaust out of the water it will run like a scalded cat out of it. It has happened to me a couple of times.
I would like to know wat is going on and if the trans exhaust has something to do with it. Let me know if you figure something out.

Just a thought, as I am no expert. On my brute force, when we would go through deep water it would create a lot of steam at times that would get sucked into the airbox causing it to sometimes die. Isn't the airbox intake somewhat close to the exhaust, or other hot parts?? I dont know if this happens at all, just a thought.

it is the exhaust it like sticking a potato in the exhaust. even with aftermarket exhaust. need to snorkel the exhahst

ive put mine over the bed in water does great ..but you must bring the carb lines up or you will suck water though the carbs and it will stall ..the carbs r vacum slides so when they cant breath they shut close and put puuutut u stop looking like a chump..
