Start with the easy things. Disconnect the kill button and see if that fixes it.

 

[oldsurfer]

how do you disconnect the kill switch

 

[drhofferber]

where is the white wire from mag...first disconnect the green wire you put on the frame.now see if it starts...

 

[GearNut]

Disconnect both wires that lead to it, keep the mag to cdi wires connected though.
Also make sure that the darned sparkplug cap is still attached to the spark plug wire if you are running the stock set up.
The next cheapest thing is to replace the spark plug with a NGK B6HS or B7HS (gap to .025"), and if that don't work,install a quality spark plug wire. You can use a coil to distributor wire from a car, or any used known good wire that has a 90 degree boot on one end.

got it running..sprayed dw40 in the carb and put the choke on....fired right up...question...the motor surges until it gets up to speed is this typical of 2strokes?

It running lean more than likely. Check your plug.

The NGK B7HS plug is a little too cold... Use a B5HS or B6HS!
