Check the compression.If compressioin is good check spark,make sure it is getting fuel.My guess is probably time for a top end but we will not know until you do a compression test.

well, if you had it full throttle pinned, and now no compression, you may have burnt up the rings and it may be time for a rebuild.

for sure. pull that cylinder before any more damage occurs. when you tried to kick it over was there any resistance? like a peice of piston broke? the cylinder is easy to pull. hold the end of the plug wire and get someone to kick it over. better yet vise-versa. how do u know there is no spark? how do you know there is no compression?

How do you check for spark?

[dualstroke]

easiest way to check for spark is pull the plug out,leave it connected to the plug wire,hold the electrode onto the side of the cylinder and kick it over.It will either spark or no spark.good luck.

do it in a dark garage. or just get ur budy to hold it while u kick it!
