If you have no spark ya gotta get that happening before anything else. Try a new plug and see if you have spark while holding it to ground, it can be hard to see the spark if your trying to turn it over and hold the plug at the same time...lol Still no spark it could be your spark plug cap. I had a no start on my yz250 and it was the cap. Also it could be your CDI unit, check your connections carefully cause a CDI is expensive.

Another thing I've seen is the magneto shears off the key thats holds it on the crankshaft, so when your trying to start it the magneto is just dragging along, no spark. This sucks cause the cause of this is worn out wobbling crankshaft bearings.

Hope that helps Sorry missed that last post So you have good spark then, does it run now...
