KTM EXC 450 Not Starting

I bought a 2005 EXC-R 450 a non-running a few days ago. I have done a couple things to try to get it to run but I haven’t had must luck. Here is a list of things I have tried.

-Carb Rebuild and Clean

-New Fuel

-New Air Filter

-Set Valves to Spec

-New Fluids

-Adjusted the fuel screw on the carb

-Pull the cam cover and confirmed timing is correct 

-Pulled plus and confirmed spark

I have good spark, fuel, and air. When I kick there is air coming out of the exhaust. Gas is getting to the carb. Sometimes I’ll get a loud pop but that is about it. The only issue that I have found is the stator and flywheel seem to be damaged. I have heard that damage to the stator, flywheel, or woodruff key. I’ll add pictures so y’all can see the damage and let me know what you think. I’m think I’m going to buy a flywheel, woodruff key, and new stator. Please let me know if I am going in the right direction.
