Well my uncle and i were playing around a small mud area and decided to go down to the creek and wash off our atv's well he got a lil to deep and drowned out his. We tried starting it and nothing, lifted it up on the back rack and pulled the rear plug out then pulled out the front. Replaced them both new still no start it just cranks and cranks. Got it home pulled the carbs off and cleaned them up real well. Put it all back together and it still wont start, check all fuses we are stumped as to what could be the problem. Anyone had this problem before. We know there is water in the oil but we just want it to start and run for a second before we do anything eles to it. The oil isnt real bad just a lil water. Please help if you know something eles to check.

 

take the plugs out of the motor but leave them attached to the wire, hold the end on the motor somwhere, crank it over and see if it's getting fire. if it's not, you have a short somewhere, or something came disconnected.

Engine should fire up.
Submerging a quad into water can cause lots of troulbe, especially on Brute, even though it looks fun and tempting. I just let others do and watch them - fun enough for me.

 

If what they said doesn't work then take apart all electrical connectors and blow them out.

 

Just took mine for a swim as well. Make sure you drain the fuel(and the water that's probably in it), check the fuel pump and hoses(hoses must be on the correct outlet of the fuel pump), pull the rubber plug on the bottom right of belt cover
