check these things;
1. compression-use a gauge, not your thumb
2. fuel-is the fuel making it through to the cylinder/jug?
3. spark-is it making spark?

Yes spark checked it today. Yes gas is making it through. Could it be cdi? Stator?

what's the compression? you got fuel and spark. hmmm....is the spark weak or strong? weak would lean towards a weak CDI. have you tested the stator's output?

No I haven't gotten to test compression or stator. Spark is weak.
