Default wolverine boging out in water

ok so i have a 2000 350 wolverine,
it runs pretty good, but when ever i hit any conciderable amount of water, the bike will bog down, and i mean bog down, i could hit the puddle or water whole in 3rd fast, down to 2nd to keep the revs up, but still i have to go back down to 1st and it still boggs down to like 100 rpm or what ever, just barly moving the tires on the virge of stalling out, feels like your in 4th

now i checked it out there is no water comming in anywhere, after it happend i pulled the seat off and pulled the carb apart to look for water right in the trail but nothing,

the bike has 25" tires on it, could this be the reason for the lack of power?

any one have any idea? its killing me

thanks.

You need to stop the sparkplug and wire connection from getting wet

Is it seriously that simple? I thought the
Bike was f$&@".
So what's the best way to go about that? Electrical grease?

electrical/ silicone grease. Let us know if it solves the problem. My grizzly had the same problem.
