Default Banshee problem, Please Help!!!!

I went riding the other day and it was in the desert and really dusty, at the end of al long day of riding it started running very poorly so I figured the air filter was really dirty so I loaded up and went home.
Well after cleaning my filter, I couldnt get it started again. I checked the plugs and the left one had water on it.
I kicked it a few times to see how much was in the cilinder and it would spit a little out after about 3 kicks.
what is cousing this? did I blow a head gasket?
please help??

Sounds like it could be the head gasket, are you running water only in the cooling system or do you have antifreeze? Did you wash the bike before you did the filters? If I'm wrong about this I am sure the shee guy's will correct me but isn't there a rubber plug on the bottom of each cylinder that blocks off the waterjacket from the base gasket? If one of these plus went bad this could also allow collant into the engine.

Yea, I washed the quad before I cleaned the filter. And Yes, I am using anti freeze.
Is that plug your talking about internal?
I could really use more input.
thanks
