1st check the oil level (little nut at back of engine )
check your brakes arent worn through to the metal plates ,no? then
remove the rear brake 2 bolts , slide off ,and spin the wheel still making the noise?
if yes , take the side plate off your engine 12ish bolts
check your belt is ok , remove the belt see if the wheel spins ok ?
no then its something to do with the rear drive, there is a gear in there may be shattered , clutch may be stuck on ,
spluttering at full throttle , sounds like wrong mixture , either to much fuel or too much air , tighten the mixtuer scew all the way in , make note of how many turns
it should be around 1 1/2 turns anticlockwise from fully closed position unless youve modified it
