Dang Dave sorry you're having so much trouble, can you pedal? If not the motor chain could be caught under the cover or the internal parts of the rear wheel failed.

A couple of things could have happened, the clutch arm on the engine can spin on the shaft if it’s a two piece style, the bucking bar may be seized or the side cover bolts are loose.

Just my $.02

Your clutch plate nut could be too tight. Another issue I had was with the bearings in the clutch assembly. Apparently, they need lubrication, but the pads will not grip if you get any lube on them, so be careful. Other than that, Greg covered it all.
