Broke the flywheel with a prybar? imagine that. Bet he broke more than just the flywheel. You've tried eliminating the ETC? Hook a test light to ground and the neg side of the igniton coil if you can, the light should flicker/flash (running) regardless of throttle opening, if it stops then you have electrical issues...

Try it on the small white wire with a blue tracer at the coil, make sure the coil is grounded good to the frame....
