i have the same problem i have to creep through water, if i fly through even a small puddle it will act like it wants to die....or it will die and wont start till like 10 mins later...never really messed with it i figured something needed water proofing but its hard to say what it is that does need water proofing...

thats what it does. but it never did that before i rebuilt this motor. so im thinking when putting all back together i missed soemting or chaffed somes wires.

What i'm going to tell you is what you probably already know. There's some exposed wiring somewhere, it'll take a process of trial and error to find it. You can start by taking all the connectors on the harness apart and cleaning them out and putting some dielectric grease in there, specifically the connectors at the stator and CDI. Another method that might help narrow it down is to have the quad running, and hose it down and see if you can re-create the problem, when you spray something and it shuts off you probably found the culprit.

yea guys i was playing around with it today and noticed that my K&n air filter and rubber hose was wet and had water in it. i dont run a box lid so im figuring the water flooded (literally) the card of filter. il try again tomorrow
