the other day i drag raced five times on my mostly stock 300ex but heres the deal i started each time in 2nd gear instead of 1st also while we were going down the trail the other day i shut the engine off and when i tried to start it back up it just wouldnt start i have right at no clue whatsoever at what caused it (no it wasnt out of gas) any advice or anything would greatly be appreciated

make sure the kill switch thing is in the middle

couse if it is a lil bit off it wont start

thanks lildude!

it could be a number of things.. Like lildude said, it could be your kill switch, clogged fuel filter, fouled plug. You didnt hurt anything, just check all the little things it could be.

well im not the smartest person here buttttttt if it seized it wouldn't turn over AT ALL, cause the piston is locked. right?

does it turn over like it wants to start or does nothing happen? If nothing hppens you either have a starting motor problem or u siezed the motor. If you pull it and dump the cluthc does it start, does the piston move ir do the wheeles stay looked up? IF ints not something there it could be either be in the wiring. But if it turnes over but wont start chances are its not getin gas and its in you carp or gas lines.
