Sunk my 04 Bomber 400 in a very deep, muddy puddle. Air intake, clutch were FULL of mud. Oil looks OK, but I will be changing. After a good wash, the clutch still doesn't look all that clean. Is there a cleaning product one can use on the clutch? Does it need to be taken apart? Should the carburetor be removed and cleaned? Any tips are appreciated.

I'd take it all apart and clean it thoroughly. Iv'e heard of people using soap and water but i just use brake clean. Ive serviced lots of clutches and cleaned out alot of housings. just makes sure bearings and seals are greased, no fingerprints or oil on sheaves(primary or secondary) and don't forget to clean your belt off with Brake clean.

If you got mud in your air box i would clean thre box, air filter, and the carb.
