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!!

Trying Hard NOT to be and old FOGY,but tailpipe heigth TOO deep,can cause all sort of problems,from elec to engine hydrolock if water injested. I KNOW everyone goes above what manufacturers recommend,but if going past floorboard or above recoil area,trouble can follow. Hope problem not serious! Good luck
