It just started it a couple of days ago. I drag race and I run 104 octane through it. I tried to start it yesterday and it sounded like the starter just spun. So i check my starter its fine and then i take my case off and that bolt backed almost all the way out. So we tightend it back up and the battery was dead (left the key on). So I tried to pull start it with a friends fourwheeler and whenever i would let out on the clutch in third it would act like it wanted to fire but it wouldn't and so i took my case of again and it had backed out. Whenever we would pull start it and i would hit the gas the wheels would lock up. I work at a quadshop and have the tools to fix it i was just wondering what I should do and how should I do it.

I'll bet that the key is sheared off.

That is possible because I tore the motor down and put a stock key in it. Good thing i have an extra Sparks key. I'll look at it. Thanks a lot.
