put some gas into the spark plug hole and see if it will start up. if it will start then it's a fuel problem like clogged carb/fuel filter/clogged gas tank petcock. if it won't start then you have to check spark. if weak or no spark then it's an electrical problem..if spark is good then possibly air/filter clogged or mechanical/motor problems like piston/compression etc.
right.. if reeds are on correct (check incase as i thought i screwed mine on good and they just came off lol) might have flooded so take of spark plug and kick 3-4 times, and make sure spark plug is ok and its the right one (br8es) mines backfired wen needed new olug and also wen reeds went
if its got comp its not topend
although when my top end went a bit off reeds got into engine and even though i had comp it needed topend rebuild

chances are it wasnt jetted right, and you may have smoked the top end... buddys dirt bike did that, came off the lake onto the river.. 3-4-5- than buuuuuuuuuu bu bu buuuuuuu died
Have you checked to make sure you are getting a good spark?
Try using a spark tester to see if you are getting a spark at all. If not, unscrew the spark plug cap from the lead and hold the end of the wire about 6 mm from a bolt on the cylinder head. Have someone try to kick start it and see if a spark jumps to the bolt. If so, the spark plug cap is bad. If there is no spark, it could be the main switch, the engine stop switch, the ignition coil or stator coil, the ignition wiring harness...and if all that checks out, it's probably the CDI unit.
Will the engine turn over at all?
All this is coming from the Clymer manual.
