haha, i didnt make it through.... thats my brand new Foreman 500 4x4 with a snorkel.. but they didnt tell me the pond had a drop off. It was too late when i noticed. Plus the water was about 50* and i had chest waders on.... not fun.
but i seriously doubt i would try anything like they did in a jeep.. even if it had a snorkel..

We used to do that. I have a triangle ATV snorkel kit on my 03 foreman 450. Put about 40#s in the front tires and it will float the front better
It is fun on an ATV just dont let out of the throttle like I did once, killed the engine with the exhaust valve open muddy water got into the cylinder and it has smoked a little every since but still runs strong so Ill keep pouring oil it tillit dies
How are you keeping the plug dry on your ATV? I have always had problems with that.

This is my kind of post...lol. Dieletric grease in the plug boot will solve your problem 1slow. Also gettin the jetting just ride should make her idle underwater no problem. Between me and my daddy we have 5 bike. 2 Foreman 450s, a Rincon 650, Brute Force 750, and Sportsman 800. Now i just gotta get pics of my trucks...

1slow01z71, small trick of the trade, put a very little bit of dielectric grease on the top of the spark plug or/and in the cap. Works like a charm.
I have mastered atv's under water. Dont believe me and if you have an aim name I can send you the vids. I have had a 300 fourtrax, 500 rubicon, 500 sportsman, and artic cat 400 manual in the last 5 years and I can tell ALL have been under water, Ive sunk every bike but the artic cat. You just have to know what to do.
Oh and their is a way on the trail after gettin a swamped four wheeler out to drain all the water out.
1. Tump atv on back rack and let all possible water drain out of carb, untill straight gas is coming out then shut off peecock valve.
Let all water drain out of exhaust pipe, oh and before doing this pull air filter.
2. Pull spark plug. WITH THE SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE HOLE turn the motor over with the electric start OR pull start either one. THis will get ALL water out of cylinder, dont hold hte button down just keep bumping it till all the water is out.
3. Dry air filter back off. re assemble and should already be on flat on the ground now. Try starting it with or without choke.
4. LAST OF ALL check oil if it is milky I would not put it high in RPMS and limp it home or tow it home. IN anything but a honda I would change the oil on the trail, I have odn eit before on all mine and others four wheelers. Milky oil will make the motors smoke.
Oh and BTW 1slowz71 time for me to be an *** to you, Ive seen you make comments on here like why that is the expensive way just build it, jimmy rig it or w/e. WTF YOU BUY A TRIANGLE ATV SNORKLE KIT. you just paid 150+ for pvc pipe!!!!! MAKE YOUR OWN. Try like dual 2.5" flex hose(pool hose). Rejet carb hopefully open up exahust and weld an exhaust snorkle on. And if your like me you already have 28" outlaws on the atv so lets go hold our breath and test the silicone!!!!
