The Quad Diary

I bought this four-wheeler used for my son's birthday last week. It wasn't running when I got it but after a new battery and some tinkering it has been running for 5 days probably 8-10 hours of run time. 
 
Today after 1 hour  My son wanted to wash it, I showed him how to be careful not getting water near the engine. We were careful but after we washed it and let it dry the motor starts but the transmission slips and won't really go forward.  Even if I pick the back of the four wheeler up the wheels only go forward a tiny bit. It's as if something is slipping inside.   But it worked fine right before the wash.
 
Not sure what brand. I was told it was 90 cc's the VIN is attached.  Is it 90 or 110ccs?
No air filter came with it. Using a some old stockings until I figure out what air filter to order.
My son is so bummed so I want to get it back up to speed but also teach him how to work on it.

Hi all,
I have just got a 1995 Bayou 220 from my brother. It is in decent condition ant it has not been used much, yet it has been sitting idle for a long time (4+ years).
The plan is to overhaul it and move it to a location where it will be used 4-6 times a year, so, beyond having the battery charged, the idea is to have it ready and in good condition. It will be stored in a steltered place while waiting to be used.
My questions would be: 1. What things should I carry out as basic overhaul tasks / 2. What are the typical aches, things to watch out for in this model/year.
I definitely plan on changing all the fluids, filters,  battery, cleaning the carb, etc. but any specific recommendation from your experience will be of great help.
 
thanks in advance!

I came upon a cool simple sound system called the [bold]Firehouse Technology "Trail Thumper"[/bold] that easily connects to my ATV and for its size really has great sound....its all self contained, I did not need to wire anything or provide power, puts out enough sound to ride or when taking a break enjoy some tunes...and also will charge my cell phone as its battery serves as a back up battery for smartphones....(kinda a cool extra) I have seen the system that mounts to the front of the quad but just wanted something that was easy to take on and off the bike....thought I would share. Here is some video of the product.....comment or opinions?
