i have some rubber between my engine mounts and frame for vibration could this be causing no spark because not grounding. have a ground wire hooked to frame but not between engine and frame.
 
With your troubles, are you working on a 2 cycle, 4 cycle, single cylinder or maybe a V8????? Lets assume you are talking about a Chinese HT.

Rubber (although I wouldn't use it) will not cause NO spark, so long as the magneto to the CD wires are correct. It can make a difference in the kill switch depending if it's hooked up to the wires on the CDI/magneto connections, or to the bike.

Start.... Bad or wire not connected properly
Bad plug
Bad plug wire
Bad plug boot
Bad magneto/coil
Bad CDI
White wire mot used
Re solder the blue wire (cold solder joint)
How's them for starters??

If the engine is insulated from the frame, what good is the ground wire doing?

also the magneto rotor could be bad. my rotor and magneto were crap right out of the box.

You know, it just might help if we knew what your working on... I'm no mind reader.

I highly doubt the the magnet is bad, but yes the coil could have a short. Check with a meter or test light.

these things are a crapshoot out of the box i dont think they use new parts. I had a ripped head gasket the first time i started the motor it had a bad air leak.
 
sorry about that folks i have a 80cc raw motor. thing that is so messed up is bike was running stopped do a adjustment on carberater and now has no spark. did not change anything in the electrical. white wire has been taped off no kill switch
