Drain the carb, clean the filter. Then drain and change the oil and filter.

 Souds like you may have had it sub merged in too deep of water, and gotten it in the carb

yea, he had it in DEEP water. i figure water got in the engine. when he was ridin through the water, it stalled and had a real hard time starting and then stalled right after it started. and it shot a bunch of steam out the exhaust pipe.

Stand the bike on its back, See if water runs out of the exhaust.

 TOO much water in there would do that also.. But, I would still do the others I mentioned already

yea, he needs to do all that, and take the spark plug out and turn it over and see if it shoots water out. and quit ridin it through lakes!
