it would make sense if you connected everything and made sure the battery was up to full charge before you even try to start it.

Have you tried the pull start .

Hey Rick I think all the bugs are gone now , went riding this
weekend no tow rope needed . Piston and ignition held up , very
pleased with the mid range pull and exceleration . Now I know
how poor the suspension is . Thanks for all your service and help .

I also am having a problem with no spark. I checked my ground disconected the etc on the trottle and still am not getting any spark. I got help by someone with the same mods on his scrambler as I do. He thinks that it might be my cdi or coil pack. Anyone have any help?

just a wild guess but the magnet didn't separate from the flywheel did it?
