I changed the plug and the spark looks fine but it takes forever to turn over. ( pull start is broke) After it is warmed up it starts right up. Last year my brother in law thought the stator was bad and started to take it apart. I ohm checked the staror and it was fine I suspected battery, but he already had the flywheel off. My question is could that "pick up" spacing be the issue we had that off and ohm checked it. The quad runs good when after it is stared idle and power seem great. No back fires or anyghing like that. (new battery yesterday)

Try spraying some carb spray in the air cleaner. May have a dirty choke. Common problem on this type of carb.

My 08 was doing the same thing and I found intake valve adjustment too tight.
