Went to load it up Saturday to carry to the club and check cameras and it would not crank. It would just turn over and never try and catch. After a few seconds it was giving off a strong gas smell as if it was flooded. I have tried every day since and it does the same thing. It ran great Thursday. My son took it the neighbors to go fishing and now it won't do nothing. Any suggestions on what to check.

This is my guess as well Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!
