Default 2003 rancher won't start after being stuck

While out on a run on the weekend I had my bike into a bad mixture of mud and ice, after a lot of spinning I got out. But the bike stalled and hasn't started since I have lots of power in the battery and I still have spark the bike turns over but won't catch. Any ideas where to start?

Welcome to the forum. It might be the bushings in the starter. If it is, you can either replace it or rebuild it.
