OK so its been raining a crap ton where i live and my only transportation is a 50cc lance cali classic... i took a spill the other day in muddy water and afterwords it seemed like it ran rough... also leaked gas.... im driving home in the rain and it starts going from 40 to 30 to 20 after every stop (like it dropped 10mph after each stop sign i stopped at) im like 10 min away from home and it sounds like its bogging but wont move.... the next day i take the air filter off and dry it and clean the casing and whatnot and put it back together and as i try to start it (electric start) it will "turn over" but not "start" ideas??

How much electrolyte poured out the battery over-flow when you dumped it in the ditch?

Remove spark plug, squirt 2 teaspoons worth of petrol into cylinder, replace plug, try to start it!
If you have a spark it should fire and fun for a few seconds, which should prove you only have a minor problem.
Does the bike have a carb or is it FI? Assuming the bike was submerged, you've probably got some water in the carb, remove the float bowl and clean it out. Ideally, remove the whole carb, take it apart and clean it thoroughly.
If you do try putting a bit of petrol down the bore and starting it, you might get lucky and any dirt or water in the system might get pulled through and out. I'd still take the carb off for a clean though!
