Default Yamaha timberwolf drowned in pond !

I have a 94 timberwolf I flipped in a pond. It was submerged upside down for about 15 minutes. I drained the fluids & changed all fiters. I don't have spark now. I unplugged ignition & kill switches still no spark. How can I tell if it is the coil or ignition module ? The orange wire does have some voltage when I crank it with a volt meter on the wire.
Thank you for any help you can give me. Dan

submerging it for only a short period shouldn't cause any permanent damage as long as you drained everything and let it dry out (you didn't say so, but you DID pull the sparkplug, yes?)

Try using some WD40 on the electrical connections and components...it is designed to be a water disperser (thus the "WD")

Yes, I replaced the plug.
It appears the coil is bad, I don't get any resistance with volt meter between plug wire & coil spade connector. I will get a new one tomorrow.
Thanks any other suggestions are welcome.
