swamped my bike today lol

[acidburn]

so today i seen what i thought keyword thought was small so i go to cross it and its trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotr ailpro 4.5ft deep! my front sank and my back floated no wated managed to go down my airbox thank god, but it instantly killed my spark plug, so my question is what do u guys do so water does kill your spark when mud bogging, btw just for safety when i got home i drained my oil and gas and put all fresh stuff in also changed my plug on the trail and only a champ would start it after swamping! ngk wouldnt even roll it over :S but when i got home and drained everything the ngk worked like a charm and i can actually say it gives it more power over champion^^

acid burn thats not cool, read the terms of use... you are required to at least make a good attempt at making you post legible. Your reply to his comment is even worse...I have been a mod before and "that" kind of attitude is a fast way to get the ban hammer. Having said that.

I have pulled water in my trike a couple of times, use a detergent before changing the oil to help get the muck out, check to make sure the valves did not get messed up, and look at you piston to make sure there is not any mud in there(if there is you are going to want to flush it out before running it, as the mud smokes the rings pretty fast)

^^There is a need to use proper punctuation and capitalization also.^^

Anyways, you seem to have covered the basics. You drained all fluids and put in a new plug. My only advice is to make sure that the plug is sealed as good as possible. The less successible the plug is to grounding or shorting out, the better chance the beast will stay running.

What kind of spark plug boot do you have? Is it one of the hard plastic NGK boots with a rubber boot on the end? I found that a fully rubberized plug boot (from a car or truck) works better at keeping water out and I also use liberal amounts of dielectric grease in the boot. If you really want to get crazy rig up a snorkel setup for your air intake too.

Unfortunately these things weren't designed to be swamp buggies so when you hit super deep holes they will occasionally die.

so my question is what do u guys do so water does kill your spark when mud bogging

You guys got it all wrong. He's looking to kill more plugs, not prevent it from happening.

If this is the case I would just eliminate the boot altogether and just put the metal cap on the plug. If anything is going to help you kill more plugs, it would be this. If that doesn't kill them fast enough for you, you could try messing with your jetting.

and this is the exact non sense i am talking about. i'll try and add periods so u can read it. sorry i made a typo but i obviously ain't trying to kill them. and btw stop posting on my topics fabio thanks.
