Ive had the quad for about a month. This morning went riding over in Shamokin, and ended up in a mud hole that was deeper then it looked! Buddy has same quad but is carb model, and went through fine. Mine Died as I was goin through, so he pulls me out, and we try starting it. Nothing, it just does one click and that its. We stood it up on end, and no water came out of pipe. When we sat it back down, is when water came out. Airbox is dry, I pulled plug on pvt, that is dry also. Tried the pull starter, and that doesn't want to move. I tried to pull spark plug out, but couldn't reach it. The water was only up to the muffler. Is there any Ideas on what could be wrong with it? Quad is at the dealer now, but any help or suggestions would be great!!

kinda sounds like you did get water in it and he exhaust valve was open so water did go in through the exhaust and now its vapor locked because the valve may have closed.... all i can think of

it's hydrolocked. pull the spark plug and turn it over a few times. change your oil a few times also.

But if there is water in there, and you turned it over, you could have other big isseus now.

Got it back from the dealer today. Maintenance crew said there was water in cylinder, and pulled plug to get it out. They changed oil 3 times, and new plug, and drained pull starter. I rode it 30 miles today, and it ran fine! Does neone elses fan vibrates when it runs, it seems to run louder then it did? Almost like something is loose.
Thanks,
ROB
