Moto won't start
I have a Cannondale Moto that won't start. It quit running at the end of a 2 hour motocross practice and wouldn't restart. It wasn't running hot or anything. It just died. Replaced the plug, old one was black, checked for spark and it is nice and blue, fuel is flowing back into the gas tank, wiring seems to be all intact. Engine turns over and backfires occasionally. It actually started once and ran really well, we let it idle a few minutes and then it died and hasn't started since.

I checked the key on the flywheel and it appears to be in the right position. The flywheel does have a couple of little cracks in it. I am going to call Blackwidow tomorrow and see if I can get one rushed in here. Can the flywheel still be the problem even if the key is lined up right?
We also checked the injectors and puffs of gas mist are coming out when we crank it over.
The time we got it to start was after it was tipped up while we were greasing fittings. Don't know if this was a coincidence or not. When the quad first quit running we were at practice and it started to bog a little on the bottom end and got to where it wouldn't run at all. It sounds like timing, like it fires at the wrong point in the stroke.
