Even though I'm new to ATV's, I have worked on vehicles all the time, and the rule of thumb (not saying you didn't do this), but the rule when I cleaned car engines is that IMMEDIATELY after you are done cleaning, you fire up the engine and let her run until she's dry.

Good Luck, what I would suggest is downloading the service manual. It will tell you all the tests and easily worth the $5 or so dollars that the people charge for them. Here is a link to some of the manuals. I can't find an 07, but I did find an 06 680 at this link.

I will reply again if I can find all the 07, because that's what you should really have.

UPDATE: Found the 07 680 Here. I bought the Ride Red for the TRX450EX from this guy. I can email you a copy if you want to see what all is in the .pdf. Just shoot me an email back on the email I sent you on craigslist.

I also have a 07 Rincon
seems like there is a lot of starting problems when it comes to rincons in the winter.
I have had nothing but problems starting my machine in our winters. Tried new battery, new plug, lighter oil, even an "inline engine coolant heater" which warms the coolant in the bypass hose going into the motor similar to a block heater.
Everytime i try starting it it will turn over for a little bit without firing until the EFI light comes on and cuts out the starter then it wont let you start it until the light goes off. Then the same thing happens.
Funny thing is it starts great in the summer just when it goes below zero it wont start worth s**t.

Is your EFI light coming on when you are cranking it over?
Have you tried starting it when its warm in a heated garage?
