A buddy just bought a 2002 300ex.
It seems like very time he goes thru just a few inches of water the engine either stalls or just just bogs down and runs poorly for a few moments until it clears out? Could the ignition wire be breaking down and arching when it gets wet? Anybody see this problem happen before?
Is there a particular shied that could be missing and blocking water? Mine goes thru anythin with no problems.
Another problem it had yesterday, was leaking gas out of the airbox. At the same time gas was leaking, it was not running properly. When we transported it to the riding area, we had it standing up, we ran the carb dry first, when we laid it down and turned on the gas, it started and ran normal for about 5-10 minutes before it acted up the first time, so Im not sure if it even had anything to do with standing it up.
