I have a 97 banshee with stock carbs and the tors eliminator. I normally have no problem with water unless i hit it hard enough to cover the airbox. Then it acts as if the cylinders are loading up, spits and sputters. I think this is from the cutting off of air due to the water covering the air box which makes the cylinders become rich all of the sudden. After a second or two of reving the motor its fine. My mud truck does something similar when the exhaust goes under water in very deep holes cylinders load up with fuel. Maybe alot of the troubles you guys are having is with the air intake or does the carbs have any vent lines that could also become blocked when covered with water. This loss of air flow could cause the motor to bog and if covered with water long enough it would cause a vacuum lock that would cause the motor to run lean due to no flow of fuel and air from the carb and if i remember right this would cause it to rev. Just some thoughts.
