Honda 400 ex problem starting
hi everybody, im a newbie so maybe it'll be a stupid question.
I just bought a 2000 Honda 400EX (stroker 440cc) ATV and it was working well for 2 days. Then i've washed it and after that it wouldnt start. battery is working, i've checked it out. the engine is trying to start i hear it well like trying to start but it keeps trying but never starts??? could it be a spark plug or water inside??? the tank is full of gas.please help me.
Thanks a lot for your help

When washing it, do you think you may have gotten water in the air filter box? It sure sounds too coincidental to me. I'd say you got water into the carb. Without removing the carb and cleaning, you can only hope it will run enough to purge any water that may be in them.
