My 2021 Brute Force's gas cap wasn't shut tight by the gasoline station lol I'm pissed. So it got some water in the fuel tank during a downpour a couple weeks back. Now it idles just fine but stalls as soon as you give it throttle or try to ride. I already drained the tank once. What else should I check or replace?
 
Ugh, I totally get how frustrating that is! I had a similar problem with mine after a storm hit. It sounds like if it's idling but dies when you hit the throttle, you might want to drain the tank again and take a look at the fuel line, sometimes just flushing it out does wonders. Oh, and don't forget to check the fuel pump and filter too, water can really mess things up in there.
 
Same thing happened to me last year on a trail ride after a surprise storm. I drained the tank too, but it keeps misfiring. What helped me is replacing the inline fuel filter, and add a fuel dryer like Heet or Sea Foam to the tank. It helps absorb residual moisture. If it still stalls, you might need to clean the injectors or carb jets, depending on your model
