I was riding my 2016 rancher at a mud park and it was running fine until the last 15 minuets. I was riding in first and it just quit. I checked the spark plug and it’s good and there is no water in the oil. It was burning oil because you could smell it but I was just wondering if anyone has a solution for my problem. Thanks.

think you need to give more details
was the motor burning oil before this happened as in previous riding, or did it just start burning oil out of the blue? and HOW Much smoke was it making!
have you been playing in deep water?
as well, if you sucked water into the fuel and been running it, it could be bad fuel?
and do you know if you have SPARK at the spark plug,
not just what the plug looks like here, but actually proven you have spark at the plug?

Does the airbox show any signs of water inlet? Do you have a snorkel? Raised vent lines? One or more good one way valves on carb overflow? Are all electrical connections clean and waterproof?

Thanks for all the help. I took the bike to a mechanic and found out one of the valves are bad and the rings on the pistons were worn out. The bike is running great now and thanks to all who replied

A typical ATV symptom here in the U.K. that is, known as ‘lack of maintenance’ haha..
