I have a suzuki eiger that ran great one day and wont start the next. I have checked the gas for water, put in a new plug, blew out the carb and nothing worked. Today im tinkering with it and it ran for about 5 mins then died and wont crank now, checked the oil and it has what i would call alot of gas in it.

have you or did you roll the atv over? if so this could explain the gas in the oil. if not then i would check the valves and the or the cylinder skirt
a bent or burned valve can allow fuel to enter the crankcase, but also a broken cylinder skirt can do this as well.
as well as worn piston rings can allow fuel to pass down past the piston upon compression and into the crankcase.
