Water into intake.

I was rideing today, and i hit a couple big puddles, not to massive though. However, on the last one I hit the second the atv hit the water the engine stalled, and when I pulled it out I noticed that the tube running from the air filter to the carb was disconnected... I am assuming this is the problem... Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it? I already Tilted it straight up to see if any water would run out of the exhaust, removed the spark plug to spray the water out, and cleaned and dried the air filter. Any advice would be very appreciated!!

sounds like you have everything cleaned out good, just make sure to re-oil the air filter. is the tube broke or just come unhooked? if it's broke you could probly just splice a new pc. in where it broke at and probly be good to go. not seeing it makes it hard to help. i put my wr400f thru water that was handle bar deep a few weeks ago & filled the air box completely full of water so i nknow what you're talkin about but i just drained the air box and kept on riding the rest of the day. good luck
