Yes. Maybe that was it. I'll let it air out and try n start it. If it starts and makes that noise what else could be it?

I would start by checking for debris. As I learned last night, it can sound god awful and just be something simple like debris. If it seems clear of any debris, I would start checking bearings. Start with the easiest ones to get to and work your way towards ones harder to get to as you tear it down. Hopefully you will find the culprit before you have the whole thing torn apart.

Ok, I'm trying to pull the pull start but it's just way to hard. It was never this hard to pull. I took the exaust off and it's good.

Ok I can get it started easy now by loosining the plug a bit. But it sounds like a loud wine noise. Could it be the fly wheel rubing on the coil?

It could be. You could also have a piece of debris under or behind the flywheel. Also could be in or around the clutch bell.
