Angry No Spark

really getting frustrated, i have no spark at all what shall i do guys?? I took the plug out and laid it in the head lifted the rear end of the bike and turned it over i saw no spark at all. The stock wire that came with the bike was to small for the tip of the plug NGK(B5H5) so I went to the auto part store and got a wire. screwed the wire onto the ignition unit and the other end to the plug still nothing. I dont know what to do. I even poured a little fuel/oil mix direclty in the cylinder and still no fire. What next?????

Default Re: No Spark

your wires all connected and tight at the cdi no bare wires shorting things out you also using a copper core sparkplug wire plug gapped at about 0.017 even though the instructions say 0.028
New clean plug?
last ditch effort hold on to the plug wire and turn over the engine if you have spark it will be a shocking experience. Don't do it if you have a bad heart get a kid to be the sucker/I mean tester.

7mm screws it into the CDI. Unhook your kill switch.

I run the stock china plug wire with no problems on 2 bikes. And one bike I do have a industrial copper core plug wire with a racing kart plug boot that does not require that the top tip of the plug unscrews.
