I rode my 2006 450r in some water and it was fine.. Came home, tuned it off and rinsed the mud off it. Fired it up and drive it into the garage, right before I turned it off I thought the exhaust sounded a little funky. I tried turning it back on to see if I could hear it again and it will not start. I took out the aspark plug and it wanst wet and was firing.. Please help!!

ok, I got it to run.. changed the spark plug and just kept trying to start it.. first I kranked it without fuel for a while to clear it and then turned the fuel on and gave it a little gas and it started.. I ran it for a while and then took it for a run.. It runs like shit, fuel cuts off way early and I noticed more vibration. vibration may be doue to spark plug not being on tight enough so I will tighten it once it cools off, the other problems I have no idea.. keep in mind this is a carburated quad, is it possible the carb could be out of tune now?? I will also change the oil before running it again.. any help woulb be greatly appreciated
