Spent some time reading through here as well to get ideas, but will map it out here to keep things together.
Anyway, 1st build as well. Sadly, it's an 80cc BGF (boygofast) on EBay which I didn't check on enough ahead of time
Although service has been pretty good (clutch handle broke at the screw joint, got a new one for a few bucks shipping, and that's on but also broke on the other side (screw will hold it in place, but at least I got a response so I'll hold off there). Took a bit to mount as I didn't have as much free space as I thought. But was able to get it on and "hooked up" OK for the moment, then will just need to probably mod a bit to further help out...
#1 - No spark on the plug. Even when tested out of its slot. I have the black, blue & white coming off of the engine, black/blue on the coil & the kill switch is black & yellow. "Instructions" indicated to tie the kill switch wires with the blue and match the colors to plug in. Correct in that assumption or should I go black to black and yellow to blue (white's electrical taped/capped off and out of the way..would like to keep that for a light later on) - I would solder them to hold better, then wrap electrical tape since I don't have a heat shrink gun. Also with these lousy cap plugs on the wires, I would think plugging it in as is would be enough to get a connection, or should I throw a little more solder in there to ensure such. In the meantime, I'll take off the kill switch just to see if anything changes tomorrow...(just checking at least if it's connected right)
#2 - Fuel. Previously had some running down the line, and was able to get the prime button to work (flooded it by accident), so at least it looked like fuel was making it's way into the float/carb area. However, I had to re-do the line and now can't get any fuel to flow it looks like (it'll come out from the tank when the line isn't attached to the tank as I tested that, but once on I don't seem to see any coming down, unless it's just trickling that much). Seal too tight somewhere, or do I need to drill for airflow? (I'll double check that more as well - could just be bad lighting, or I'll need to drain the line and try again) - I did use some Teflon tape on the connectors just to keep a (better) seal...
#3 - clutch too far in? I can roll the bike without the handle depressed, although there is some decent resistance. Might have tightened it too much as before it was too loose and got good pedal resistance with the handle depressed...so maybe just halve the balance?
Hopefully it's something simple and not a junked part, since it hasn't been able to even run yet. Not giving up though, since there are plenty of others who got theirs going...and unless I got junk, should be able to do the same with mine...
