hi my raptor 80 has been broken for about a year now because my friend nose dived it in to a pretty deep mud puddle i think that mud and water has gotten i to the moter me and my dad have taken the crab apart but there was nothing wrong with it so we put it back together and when try to start the quad the moter doesn't crank over it just makes that winding sound.... dose any one no what the problem might be!!!! and how it can be fixed

 

check your timing chain and also your starter.

 

no i thinks it mud and water in the moter but i don't no foreshore

 

were do you live. If not to far maybe I can help or look at it. Al

 

First off, if you got it drenched, you need to pull it all apart and check a few things.
1) dump the oil and put in new.
2) take out teh spark plug and drain any gunk that may have been in there out. If you didn't do this when you dumped it a year ago, your motor may be JUNK. If water and gunk got into the motor, it will RUST. If it has sat for a year, you are in for some trouble.
3) Put in a new plug.
4) Charge the battery. It should turn over if the motor is OK. If it is rusted inside and stuck, it is junk.
5)If it turns over, the next step is to do a spark test. If that is good, you can hope to start it. If no spark, then start looking at your stator. If you got mud and gunk up there, it may not be making spark.

A lot of what ifs here. You must go through these steps one by one and eliminate them.

You really should have taken time to set things right when it happened... not wait a year later but I am sure you know that.

 

yea its just my dad and i are really busy and my friends dad wanted to help but my dad dosnt trust him
