ok here goes, my son took his 98 timberwolf 250 2x4 mudding and wound up in stuck in a hole with only handlebars and top of seat visible. so after pulling it out with a truck I got it home to find that it was hydro locked. started with the rear end, disassembled cleaned reassembled and new fluid. roles great. now for the problem. drained the oil/water from crankcase, pulled the spark plug and gave the rope a pull and shot water out of the cylinder. put new oil in along with motor flush and a new plug. the plan was to flush the motor 3 or 4 times to get remaining water out and figured it would be good to go. however, no start electric or pull rope. have popped all connectors apart and dried them, swapped out coil pack, disassembled carb, cleaned and replaced, it is getting spark and fuel. where should I go from here. cant seem to figure out why it wont start. I did almost start 1 or 2 time but just wouldn't stay running. please help im at my wits end.

      Timberwolf 250 starting issue
      By Jdeaton011989
      Hi all. I have a timberwolf 250 2nd that will not start.. I thought it was out of time bc the guy I got it from said it just quit on him. The tensioner had a nut welded to it and it was like2 teeth off. I installed new tensioner and chain and it still will not start. It has fire and it will not hit off brake cleaner. It has compression. Haven't put a gauge but I'm sure it will crank and run with what it has. I double checked my work and it's still in time. Spot on. Both valves move. I'm about to put a feeler gauge on them and I'll cone back but other than that any ideas?

      2006 Eiger LT-F400F will not go into gear after generator cocer replacement
      By middlebrookgt
      Hi All.  I introduced myself some weeks ago with my 2006 LT-F400F that needed a list of repairs including replacing the cracked generator cover.  It is back together as of last night and cranks up, idles and revs high pretty well.  Needs some fine tuning and stop backfiring at stop.
      The big issue is it will not go into gear.  I reassembled the insides with help from y’all’s posts.  The transfer selector moves from H-L-R, and the foot shifter moves thru the gears and finds neutral easily enough.  Before I tear it back open, the  transfer selector on top does not move as far as the repair manual says.  The diagram shows the shaft moving something like 40 degrees between L and H and 50+ degrees between L and R but it doesn’t move that far even though it finds the indent areas and moves well.  
      Could this be the problem.  I aligned all the dots on the shifter gears inside and it appeared to not be binding anywhere.  I do hear the gears touching when I shift like they are trying to engage, but zero movement from the ARV
      It was somewhat difficult to tell whether all the parts are installed on each shaft.
      Are there better/bigger photos somewhere that would allow me to be confident I included all the washers and bushings, etc?  If I had any doubt on parts that were laying inside after the cover broke then I purchased replacements from online stores.
      TIA for any input or feedback!!  Pics are from when I first took the generator cover off.

      2007 Hond fore 500 4x4 es trouble after top end rebuild
      By Ejwill
      I rebuilt the top end on my 2007 Honda Trx500fe. It ran fine right after the rebuilt. But now when I try to crank it it blows Bach through the carburetor. I held my hand over the opening for the intake air and it blew gas back on my hand. Can figure out what happened all of a sudden. It was cranking and was able to ride it running through all the gears. Now can get it to crank just blowing gas back to the air filter. Need help again. Starting to think I should have walked away from this one.
