  check the tiiming, decompression, spark plug gap, air filter.
  how fresh is the fuel? It can be manotonouse but hang in ther dude she'll go eventually and when your cruising at mach 2 down the trail you'll forget all the hassles.............til it stops.

  Have you worked on anything since it last ran? Did it just die on you one day? Does it even act like it "wants" to start?
  When my SEM went out, one of the first things I checked was spark - for whatever reason I thought it had and continued along with the other check points. Finally after no success I checked the spark again and realized there was none
  After changing the stator it ran fine.
  What is the old saying? If all the necessary conditions exist, it has to run, it has no choice :P

  ok so i know there is spark went out again to check used the ol rubber handle screw driver touching the end of the plug kick through and spark. drained the flot bowl and started over with your suggestions
  is it possible for it to get too much fuel?
  im not too mechanicle so i need dumb terms

  Yes, the engine can indeed receive too much fuel.
  Is the plug wet with fuel after kicking?
  Is the fuel odor strong as in flooded?

  have compression.....but its hard to say when the compression release is inline with the kick start it has always felt like im kicking a 250 or smaller i dont think there is a strong smell of fuel ill have the wif check my hands have been covered all day in the stuff
  what happens if the float is stuck ive read you guys talking about that before

  Hate to say it, but if it absolutely will not start, go down to your local auto parts store and get a can of starting fluid. Remove the air filter, squirt some in the intake and kick it over. Unless you have a large hole in the side of the head or no spark at all, it will start. If you have compression, spark and fuel, the engine will run.

  an easy way to test ya compression is to put ya finger over the spark plug hole and kick it. If it blows ya finger off the hole then compression is good.
