humm...
I thought I was in the clear...maybe not.
I kindof burried my ex yesterday... everything up to the muffler was in mud / water... guess the whole was deeper then I thought. The engine was not turned over with water or anything covering the pipe...I was pretty careful about that.
What I got it out...started right up and rode the rest of the day..
Got home and had trouble starting it in the evening... sputtered and sounded liked it was flooding I guess...
Checked the air filter it was dry, I cleaned it and reinstalled, same result.
Cleared the air box drain, same result...
Now up until this point I have never had a problem with the engine starting really...always started fine...idled a little fast, but didn't have much trouble...
now when I want to give it gas after I get it going it wants to bog and stall out... im sure if I warm it up it will be fine...
my concern with that is before I nose dived into the mud/water It would respond to throttle w/o hesitation even if I just started it.
I didn't check/change the spark plug...dont know if that could be part of it...
What do I need to check?
