Everything is looking good, got the ignition wired up with a toggle switch after the battery fuse, and cranking with it's own crank switch.

-Out of the 5 wires coming off the cdi box, ive got the ac ignition black/red wire connected to the black/red wire going to the stator.
-The yellow/baby blue ignition coil wire connected to the ignition coil.
-The Blue/white timing trigger wire connected to the stator.
-The gray kill switch wire just hanging out of the cdi box. is that ok?, i'll need to ground this to shut it off when running correct? [Yes, but be carefull. The pin on the CDI (and any attached hanging wire) has high voltage on it whenever the engine is turning (and the faster the engine is turning the higher the voltage - up to a couple hundred volts). A better plan is to remove that hanging wire off the CDI and connected it instead to a good solid ground. When you get around to shorting the CDI kill pin to ground (thus killing the engine), you don't risk a nasty shock since you will be holding on to a wire that is solidly grounded - as compared to holding on to an electrically *hot* wire about to be grounded. Still, when killing the engine with the solidly grounded wire I would still use insulated pliers to ground the CDI pin. That way you are double protected. The voltage on the kill switch can be dangerously high and should not be taken lightly.]
-And lastly the green wire to ground.

Now my last dilemma in the wiring is the voltage regulator... it has 4 wires coming out of it's connector. A black,green,white, yellow wire... the white wire and yellow wire are both going to the stator. the green wire i assumed was for ground so i connected it to the green wire coming off the ignition coil with the existing butt splices.

This now leaves me with the black wire which i have absolutely no idea what to do with it. do you have any idea? once i get this wire connected i'll be cranking and checking for spark. [The black wire is the regulated DC voltage out of the regulator. It should be connected to the switched 12 volts output side of the ignition switch (most likely also a black wire). When the engine is running the voltage regulator output is 13.5 volts to 14.5 volts DC, which pulls up the battery voltage from 12.6 volts. This causes current to flow backward into the battery which charges it up. Lead Acid batteries are really easy in this regard. All you have to do is apply a slightly raised voltage and they will charge themselves up on their own. If the battery is discharged it will draw a lot of charge current, if the battery is fully charged it will draw hardly any current.]

Thanks

My daughters kasea is a kick start with no lights and no voltage regulator. Does that mystery black wire off the voltage reg. go back to the battery maybe??

I'm gonna go get some gas and see if it'll turn over! i was getting spark without the voltage regulator hooked up so i just took it off.

Thanks for all the help Lynn!!

BTW, what spark plug and gap would you recommend for this little chinese 72cc?
