a buddy of mine swamp his mud pro through the muffler, his plug boot came loose and the second he hit the water she shut down. It wasn't bad to get going again about 1hr time and couple of beer

I think I am going to go rite now to buy a snorkel.....:hemiCoupe:.... or a least before spring...:xmas-smiley-005:

Less than $90 in parts and about 3 hrs to install. This was after a buddy drown it, about the same labor and more money than the snorkels to get it running again.

Swamped my griz so many times, I gotta do a complete rebuild, crank up lol I did snorkle it, but was still having issues. Turns out water was gettin in the carb. So in the process of trouble shooting I swamped it several more times and now it has a knock. Oh well, I needed a project anyway.

I Sunk my grizz once, we were out playing in the river valleys by the north sask river. I hit a sink hole and and was over the handle bars before i knew it. Saved it, cleaned it up drained all the fluids put fresh stuff in and it ran like nothing happend. A year later my brother borrowed it with out asking while i was working up north. Went out with his buddies figured it was super grizzly tried crossing a creek swamped it... The dumb asses tried starting it with out draining anything or looking for water :nono: and killed it... Little Bastard still owes me a quad :mad:.
