looks like you broke the keyway. it's supposed to be tight. your flywheel nut came loose then it broke the keyway/woodruff key.
no my flywheel nut is not loose.the little circle things that go around the whole thing look like there bent and thats whats making it wiggle
yeah, almost has to be, while its off i would do the timing advance, its already lose so you wont need a flywheel puller
but what about the circle things on the outside of the flywheel are the suppose to be bent or slanted?
ok well i cant just pull the flywheel off.i tried for over an hour and wont come off.if i try to hold it while i push the kickstarted down i cant hold it,just spins out of my hand.all the connections are connected.could it be something else?
nope sure dont.....and another question will the flywheel cause you not to get spark to the plug?

oooo boyyyy !!!!
your going about it the wrong way..you need a flywheel puller or an impact wrench...i always just use an impact...theres no way in hell your gonna hold that thing by hand.and using your kick starter isnt ever gonna work..and yes , if your flywheel is loose , it isnt gonna rotate around the stator right...and iit can cause you problems...if the nut isnt loose , the flywheel shouldnt flop around,., even if the key is broke it stil lshouldnt flop around, it would just spin freely, is your crank bearings or somthing shot???does the whole shaft move around?

your ignition coil feeds the plug, stator is on a different circuit, before you get urself over ur head get a ohms meter and test the coil, could just be a bad ig. coil, or just get a new plug and boot. try that
if the flywheel isn't in correct position the timing will be off. you will still get spark to the plug but it won't be timed right so it won't ignite the fuel at the piston at the correct time so the motor will not run. if the flywheel wiggles like you say then the magnets on inside of flywheel won't pulse the coil at the correct time or be non existent because of too much of an air gap from having a loose flywheel. If the flywheel wiggles then you most likely don't need a flywheel puller. put the motor in first gear and put blocks at the tires to stop foward movement. put the correct socket size on the flywheel nut with a ratchet and have the ratchet in a horizontal position towards front of atv and use sharp hard blows down on the ratchet with a hammer to crack the flywheel nut loose. or if you have access to an air gun you can get the nut off that way also. reason being is a flywheel holding tool will help you hold the flywheel to get the nut off but it won't help if your key is broken like yours is so you will have to resort to above stated info to get your flywheel nut off.
i have the flywheel nut off.i was trying to hold it to see if the key was broken.the flywheel isnt loose it rotates left to right like 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch.as if your trying to turn it.
that's why i wish it was easier to go to people's houses to help people fix sh*t. i would do it for free if i was closer to people. It's so much easier to do it in person to explain and help people out. only thing to maybe help if you took a video and could post it so people could see what's going on or start calling friends to find someone who could help you that knows about 2 strokes.
