was your airfilter wet?

water culd have gotten up the breather and up into the gas tank, either way take ur bowl apart clean out your pilot jets and clean out the bowl, should be running nice after that also make sure your intake boot clamps are fully secured, could be lettin dirt into the carb/motor

Dump out your gas tank also, a little water can cause big problems

i'm not sure what is wrong but that happened to my 250ex after i sank it and it stalled lol. i stood it up and water poured out of my exaust. then i did exactly what u described. i also have a jet kit and a pipe. my air filter was a little wet. it didnt start stalling untill about 30 minutes to an hour after i sank it then the next day it was fine.


i would just give it time u may have water in it somewhere and just try it again the next day.

also check your oil make sure it does not look like milk. u may have water in your engine.
