Default Urgent help needed

Hi all finally got the quad wired up again and running properly took it out today for about 6 hours and it went well stopping and starting no problems went through a good puddle with mud and I'm not sure if I stalled it or it cut out but not can't start it with start button all I'm getting is clicking from the starter solenoid bump start it and it goes fine tried bypassing the solenoid and still nothing took some readings of the battery 13v off around 15 when running but drops to 3v while trying to start tried jump starting off a known good battery and still the same all I can think of is water got in the wiring somewhere and causing the problem but still can't work out why won't start when bypassing the solenoid and ideas would be great thanks all

Pull out the spark plug and try it.

Thanks for the info mate got it running today of a jump start went through all the electrics again and found the rectifier was putting out way to much so I think that boiled the battery and killed it
