so we went riding at my local track today and it was super muddy/wet. After about 3 laps arount the swamp/track I took the inside line through a corner that was completely flooded. Big mistake. The water was about 3 feet deep here and my bike was completely under water. The bike instantly stalled out and died. I pushed the bike back to the truck, pulled the plug, kicked it over to get the water out of the motor, and I also took the air box apart and rung out the airfilter. Put her all back together and it won't run for crap. It will idle ok but the second I give it any gass it dies. Did I screw the valves up or something? Or should I just take the carb off and clean it real good? I mean, it was a mud puddle and all so it could just be clogged right?

yeah, I also planned on changing the oil. We also turned the bike upside down and kicked it cause I have heard that helps to get the water out, any way, some oil drained from the breather hose and it looked fine, wasn't milky or anything. Still, I am gonna change it.

OK, so I started cleaning out all the plugs, one by one. After doing the plug for the bump start thing it started back up, but still only idles. Should I go back to the carb process or could it still be electrical?
