For f***s sake!!!!

Started up yesterday morning, sounded horrible like it was literally burping. Stuck my clutch down, the revs dropped right down, and konked out. After a few attempts got it going, sounded horrible. Had to rev really high with clutch down to even get it going. Got it to the end of my road. Stuck the clutch down and it went again. Now it wont even start.
Common problem?:dead::dead::dead::dead::dead::dead:

If you get a horrible noise when you depress the clutch,do not rule out crankshaft shims.This happen to our race car,it ran fine until the clutch was engaged,this in effect pushes the flywheel onto the block,makes a noise like the release bearing(we thought it was this).

Just a thought.
