Welcome to the forum Alice. Have you looked into the kill switch? Take it out of the circuit see what happens mebbe? Your kill switch may be the culprit? It may be shorted out. Just disconnect it.

Ok try a known good spark plug. Perhaps the one you have has a hairline crack in it. What shape is the spark plug wire in? Are all of your wire connections good? Also you are saying that basically one teaspoon of gas/oil mix pored into the spark plug hole and plug put back on, it would not fire up for a second?


Last is the spark plug wet? is there gas dripping from the engine anywhere?

What kind of motor is this?

all the wiring is 2 days old, put the plug in the old bike and the old bike ran great, put another plug in the new bike it wont run, put a capful of oil and gas in the plug, wouldnt start, the wiring looks good, i dont have a meter, but put the coil on the old bike and it ran, so the coil is good, put the old coil that i know works on new bike, wont run, could it b the points?

Well you do not have points with that motor you have a CDI . It the black gizmo that your spark plug wire is attached to. Me thinks your almost there. You by process of elimination seam to only have this left to check?
