i went for a ride today after work. she felt real strong as i took off behind my house, and as soon as i decided to hammer down she sputtered and shut off and havent been able to get her do anything since. i did get her to start for a minute and as soon as i twist the throttle she shut off again, now i cant her to start back up. any help would be great.

First check for spark, if there is none then clean and check all your wiring for good ground and connection.
Sounds like a carb issue. First take off your air filter and try to start the bike. If it starts clean your filter and reinstall it. If not pull your carb, check the floats to make sure they move freely and the jets for any blockages. A dirty carb will keep any twostroke from running.
If it still doesn't run then check your flywheel key to make sure its still intact, mine sheared one off the first and second day of riding and had me absolutely puzzled.

Best of luck to you.
