Is the gas contaminated???? if not then pull the fuel line off and let it run for about 30 seconds...until theres a large enough pool of gas under the quad to complete a "Clean Burn" ... throw match and walk away

I've never seen a quad not turn over after pulling the plugs and draining the exhaust. If the water it drowned in was really dirty then maybe your Silted off in the cylinders make sure you drain the crankcase to a normal level before turning it over. Good Luck and let us know how it works out.
P.S. any pictures of the mishap ? :d

If it won't even turn over its probably the ignition fuse or something to do with it.

Yeah, thats what I am hopign it is. Maybe the fuse?? It clicks and sounds like the starter is doing its job, just no firing. I have it in a heated room and will let is still there till I can work on it on Tuesday. Thanks for everyones help. This chat rooms are really handy. I will keep you posted.
with the plugs out can you turn it over by hand?.....make sure you stand it up on the tail and turn it over by hand to get the water out of the exhaust or it will kep running back into the cylinders

She's runnning.... It was a dead battery. I must have drained it all the way when I winched myself out. Took the plugs out and she turned right over. I will change the oils, though there were no signs that it had any water in it. Cleaned the air filter and sucked whatever could out of the heads. All and all I am completley suprosed that she turned over that easy. I am no pro but let me tell you I had to bring it up to periscope deepth before it got off ...lol Again thats for everyones help. Much appreciated. Happy riding
