Hello my friend gave me a roketa atv to fix all the stickers were ripped off so idk what model it is. is there any way i can find out. also the spark plug broke off inside so i am working on getting that out. and when i try and start it all it does it make a click noise does that mean the starter is dead? thanks

I'm still confused on the plug. If the ceramic bit is broken off that doesn't affect the hex sided base of the plug below the ceramic. Plugs are removed with a deep well socket that grabs the hex base of the plug. Whether the ceramic is there or not shouldn't make any difference.
Somehow I think using an easy out is a bad idea and a recipe for disaster.
On your starter cranking issue: First try jumping the quad battery to your car using jumper cables (but take great care to get the polarity right). Does the starter turn any better?
If not you'll need a meter. Set it to measure DC volts on the 20 volt DC scale. Measure the voltage right on the battery terminals (plus and minus) while you are attempting to start the quad (as in the solenoid is "clicked" in). What voltage do you measure?
Then move the meter leads to the start motor itself. Red lead on the starter motor input post. Black lead goes to the starter motor case. Dig the probe in to make a good connection. Measure the cranking voltage again (while the solenoid is clicked in and the starter isn't turning). What voltage do you measure?
This will give enough info to determine which course to follow from here. This will determine if your battery is up to snuff, and if your starter motor is getting enough voltage to make it turn.
