Thanks guys, I squirted gas into the engine intake, started right up. Cleanedu p the carb with carb cleaner and its back to perfection. Next question is a little more technical.
Below is a link to a diagram that i found that will help explain my point:

The final drive gear, part #9, and the driven sprocket are rubbing against each other. Whats actually rubbing is the chain attached to the driven sprocket moving forwards towards the back of the final gear, causing rubbing. I made sure that the washer, bearing, and the second washer were on the sprocket gear but it still makes the grinding noise. The sprocket gear is still sliding forward into the final drive gear...
Any idea whats going on?
