wife picked this up off some freebie site. Tuesday when im off i'm going to start digging into it. today I just took the seat out to get a view of her insides and see what i'll be getting into. After my previous post she fired up for me took it a minute but she did. soon as I let go of the throtte she went dead on me.

One thing see the fuel line coming down to the Fuel Filter, that should NOT be lower than the Carbs Fuel Inlet. You have a Gravity fed fuel system so shorten that hose coming from the fuel tank and make it a straighter shot to the carb fuel inlet. You do not want anything lower than the fuel inlet on a gravity fed system.
I see it has a ground wire on the Valve cover top bolt make sure it is clean and clean where it attachs to the frame. If it has a bad ground to the motor it will not spark. Also make sure the killswitch is on the RUN POSITION and the SIDE STAND is up some have a killswitch on the Side stand and if it is down it will not spark.
Check those things and then either get a spare plug or take the one in there out and check for spark. Hold the plug against the valve cover and crank it and see if it is firing. Alleyoop

How many miles are on her? It wouldn't hurt the check the valve gaps seeing how you have the seat off. Was there old gas still in the tank? It mite need the carb cleaned as well.
