Ok, ill tell everything that happened.
The 350 has been sitting for 2 months now, untouched. Its outside under the deck under a cover.
When i put it away, i turned the fuel off and ran it till it stopped. It was also completely out of fuel.
Went to start it up yesterday, nothing. Killed the battery and gave up. Did the same thing today, nothing. Got my dad to drag me around on his grizzly to hot start it. Before he started pulling me i put it in 1st gear while i was hooking it up so it wouldnt role down the hill, then when he was ready to start pulling me i tried taking it out of 1st but no luck, so i just pulled the clutch in and tried hot starting it in 1st rather than second. No luck after trying that 3 times. Then realized the gas was off... Turned gas on, still no luck. The engine would turnover, but never fire up.
After fighting the shift lever for a while it finaly went into 2nd, but it went in really hard and with a thump. So got moving and tried another rolling start. Wheels just slid, then THUD. Something went wrong. As my dad was dragging me back to the garage, i had it in gear and it was moving like it was in neutral. It was making a tick/rattle noise from the stator/shifter side of the engine. For a while i thought i blew a rod or something and was just like screw this thing and took a break.
Then thought about it and went back to it. The starter will still turn the engine over. I have compression,fuel, and spark. At this point i could push it when it was in gear. And i could shift through the gears and feel them, but they dont feel right. So i left it alone for a while then went back about 3 hours later to put it away. I pushed the starter button just because. And whamm! It starts right up. So i let it run for a minute or 2, then put it in gear. Still wont move. When it is running in gear there is a rattle from the stator of the engine. When i put it in neutral, the rattle goes away. The cluth lever seems to have no affect. It is putting no power to wheels at all. It wont even try to move in any gear.
So it starts now, but still wont move
This thing is for sale, so i would like to fix it quickly, if it costs more than a $150 in parts im selling it as is.
Im thinking, bad clutch. Or broken linkage or something in the engine.
