Got in to some water the other day shut it off before it stalled drained oil and all the the other components put in a new plug drained carb and tank go to start it and it has a hard time starting then it won't idle high enough like its starving for fuel any ideas.

Take the carb apart and clean it. Probably got some fine dirt up into the breather vents. Blow out the vents hoses!

Another thing it could be is that the spark plug boot is wet. This happens quite often on my 660 grizzly. Pull the spark plug wire out of the plug hole, dry it off. Then use a blue towel or small rag to wipe the inside of the spark plug hole dry. If you see any moisture on the towel that could be the issue.
