Default Engine Problems

Hey Guys,

New to the website. I just picked up an American Autowerks 150cc Buggy Cart
Great Fun.

I would like to have some peoples input on what else i could check or if someone else had this issue before i buy a replacement motor.

I had it out went through a puddle and now it wont crank over.

1. Replaced the Starter (The Starter when i took it apart look lik the magnet inside exploded)
2. Replaced the Ignition Switch
3. Replaced Battery
4. Replaced the Starter Relay
5. Re Grounded all the Ground Leads I was able to Find

All it does it click


Then i took off the Clutch cover to see if the clutch was stuck or something.
I took the drive belt off and was able to spin the clutch. Clutch is fine

Then I tried to spin the drive gear with my hand it was pretty hard to turn. I was unable to spin it with my hand but i was able to sping it with a socket and rachet..

Any experience this?

Possibly before i start ripping stuff apart any ideas?

Starter Drive Gear screwed?
engine doesnt appear to be seized...



ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME!!

Thanks in advance..
