Default No spark sportsman 500

Today i was out riding and i just dipped the tires in a creek. nothing deep maybe half way up the tire. and i went to back up and it just shut off. Then from there on i have had no spark. Some reasong the spark plug wire isnt getting spark. It turns over fine just no spark for it to run. Any Ideas. I would appretiate it greatfully.

Follow the plug wire back to the coil as some were getting pinched between the frame and the gas tank killing the spark.......

Same thing happened to my buddy's 400 sp... Coil wire got pinched and shorted out. Put on a new one and all is good.
