stalls and dies when spark plugs get wet

[Wolverine]

so ive been having a problem with my banshee when going thru even a small puddle. at first i thought it was water getting into the carb, since i have a 2-1 intake, with no air box. i thought i would have to build some sort of splash box *k&n filter with outerwear already there*. but i just had a light bulb turn on, and went tested my theory. started up the banshee, got a spray bottle with some h2o, and sprayed the coil. Nothing drastic, but it did want to bog down a bit i think. i sprayed the spark plug and plug cable, low and behold she quit.

 

id still like to make a splash box or something just for added security, but this spark plug/wire would really hamper any mild trail ride. would some grease on the spark plug work? do you think i need new cables? any advice other than if you cant swim, stay out the pool lol. would like to be able to cross an inch creek at least, instead of acting like a scaredy cat and turning around thinking someones piss stream would hamper my ride.

 

thanks all

i told the doctor once that "it hurts when i do this..." he said "don't do that" lol

go to the auto parts store, and they should have "tune-up grease" use that in the boots, and where the wires go in. it will work like a charm. you probably should clean everything with electical contact cleaner first. i ride through creeks/rivers quite often, lol
