Try filling your spark plug boot with dielectric grease.

what kind and do i just lod it in with my fingers or what
I would say ride it for a while with the carb drain plug out. If you travel your quad on a trailer without the snorkle plugged it runns really bad. the drain fills up and needs drained.
fill the boot up wount hurt anything better to have to much then not enough

thanks man went to auto parts today and got some light bulb grease and it worked great wentout in a deep canal on my farm over the rack and not one time did it spuder or cut out on me :D
Helpful hint... go to the auto parts store and purchase a can of white Lithium grease in a spray can. Spray all your electical component as well. It works down deep to where the connection is so you don't have to pull everything apart. I do mine about every 3rd time and it has never spit or sputtered in the water

If you pull all of your connections apart once and fill them with dielectric grease you will never have to do it again. Water will not mix with or wash out the dielectric grease like it can with many other kinds.
unplug evey thing and run it up
I agree with pulling everything apart, if you have the time and patience. My way was just a quick way, less than 5 minutes. Plus it has never failed me yet.
