2007 Honda rancher 420
Hello, I'm new here looking for some help.
I have a 2007 Honda rancher 420 about a week ago i was riding and went through a hole (not very deep) made it through as soon as i came out it died.it wil not start just turn over. I drained the old gas, put fresh, have a clean blue spark and fuel coming out of the injector. The battery is fully charged and has a new fuel filter. Any ideas?

I don't typically like using starter fluid but in a case like this it will help rule out some things. If it starts on the starting fluid then you will know that you may have water in the fuel system. If it doesent start on the starting fluid and you have good spark then It could be timing or low compression.

Do you think the engine could have sucked in water? If so, it's possible you could have hydro locked it and blown the head gasket which would have caused a loss of compression. Does it hiss or suck when you crank it over? That would be a good sign of a blown gasket.
I'm not sure how your Honda is setup as far as checking the timing but you may have to pull the valve cover and there is usually a plug you take out that covers the magneto mark that indicates top dead center. If you can confirm valve lash and timing, then run a compression check. If its low then I'd say it could be a blown head gasket. Keep us updated.

It won't be hydro locked now, but what I meant by that was that when you went through the water, if it sucked some into the engine it, then when the piston came up to compress the fuel/air then the water in the chamber that got sucked in could have created too much pressure and blown out the head gasket.
