my motorized bike wont start!!!

[The_Paper_Boy]

so this week i uncovered my old motorized bike to run it knowing it might not start because i have not taken it for a ride for about a month and when i tried to start it, it wouldn't so what i did was i first checked the spark plug which i knew that it needed replacing because it still had the same one that the kit came with, then i checked the ignition coil which was really beat up so i bought a new one too and with that i also bought a new kill switch because the rain got to my old one so it wouldn't work and the last things i did to it was i put on a newer carb, fuel filter, and fuel line

now i since i put on the newer carb, fuel filter, and fuel line i also went ahead and put on the new ignition coil on along with the new spark plug and kill switch and made sure all the wires were put together right (black to black - blue to blue - and the white wire to the red and yellow wire. that was how it was when it worked but even now it still wont start

need help please

if you need any pictures of the bike please ask

First things first. Disconnect the kill switch. That will rule out the possibility of it buggering things up. They are well known for malfunctioning while brand new, right out of the "box".
You can stop the engine by using the choke or dropping the clutch while the engine is idling. The bike might jerk forward a little, but the engine has no choice but to stop.

Next, check if you have spark now.
If not, get back to us and we can work this out.

Yup.
+1 on what OTHP said...
Old gas loses it's poop really quickly these days, especially here in Kalifornia!
May have even gunked up the carb.
AND, there may be rust and scale in the tank that has plugged up jets and such.

...What do you mean, "the coil was pretty beat up." Why???
a coil shouldn't get anything but dusty... or maybe road grit...

Get a new fuel filter on there ... before starting attempts!

Good luck
