2004 Bruin Motor Locked?

[Steph86]

This weekend I let a friend borrow my 04 bruin at camp. Big mistake! He pushed it back and told me that it got hot and died. Turns out he hit a rock or something and cracked the case. No oil at all! Thought it was locked up on me. We let it cool, added oil, pulled the rope. Oil ran out of the crack.

Now we've fixed the crack, changed the oil and filter, and it won't start. It had compression and turns over just won't start.

Is there a safety mechanism that shuts them down? Is there something we missed? Or is my quad now a paperweight?

So you did a compression test after you repaired the crack? The plug looked ok?

[Steph86]

Yes and yes. We even tried a new plug just to be safe.

I wonder if the hit caused a timing issue or if something is not connecting electrically. I would test for spark, just to take that off the table. Then test for fuel...and if all that is ok, may be timing.

Thank you. I didn't think about it being timing issue.
