Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

Check that the air cleaner is not wet with water, if so you may have ingested water into the engine, pull the plugs and crank it over to see if any water is in the cylinder, do this with caution nas any water will be ejected with force, drain the sum and check for water in the oil, start here and report your findings.
