Hey Guys - I'm no mechanic so bear with me.

My 2002 Yamaha Blaster was working great, was out riding in mud for about an hour. Washed it with a power washer, put it on the trailer, and drove 30 minutes to home. After getting home it won't start anymore. I'm wondering if there's something I could have hit power washing it; though I've been looking into it all day today and can't find anything wrong. It always started first kick before, now I kick and I get the 1 or 2 cranks from the kick and absolutely nothing else.

Here's what I know/have done so far..
- Yes it has fuel, and the Fuel valve is set to ON
- Yes the key is on, and the STOP ENGINE switch is correctly set to RUN
- I know fuel is getting to the carburetor (not sure past that)
- I've replaced the spark plug but have not tested for spark (not sure best way)

I saw a post earlier about the TORS system being an issue for this sort of thing and something related to the parking brake? Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated - thanks!
 
take off the stator cover and see if there is a ton of water in it.
the plastic cover by foot shifter side:)
check clean all the grounds.
make sure air filter is clean/and dry, the list goes on:)
 
This ^^^
Unplug TORS brain, in front, under hood, 3 wire plug. Check ALL electrical connections are clean, dry, add dielectric grease. This includes sparkplug cap.
 
Don't worry about the parking brake switch they don't have them till 03.

To check for spark pull the plug, put it back in the cap set it on top of the head being sure it is ground to one of the fins and kick it. You should see bright blue fat spark.
