Better check to see if it has compression and that the reeds aren't busted.

Was it a fresh bore? Did you put the piston in the right way?

It has great compression, and I didn't rebuild it so I'm not sure

OK. Make sure the air filter is clean and nothing is shoved in the tube coming to the carb, like a rag or towel. (Been known to happen).

Check in on your reeds. If they are blown or not sealing, it will make for hard or no starts.

If the plug is wet, suspect the plug or it may be flooded.

I have to take the engine apart to check my reeds right?

no you just have to take the carb off and unscrew the 4 bolts on intake boot on the cylinder and the reeds are behind that , just pull them out.

check for crack, chips and gaps in the reeds if you see any of those replace your reeds

Do I have to replace any gaskets or anything like that it is it just four bolts that keep it good?

If you have a good flashlight, and can bend your neck good, pop the carb out and look in on your reeds that way. If you see a problem, then remove the cage.

It's worked for many of us numerous times.

Looked at them and they seem fine

If the plug has good spark, its fine then right?

Not always, sometimes a plug may spark outside the cylinder, but put it under pressure and it may fail.

I've tried a few plugs and no change so I'm pretty sure that's not the problem...any other suggestions?

The spark must be crisp and light blue.

How many PSI is the great compression.

Have you leak tested since re build?

Does the carb drip fuel?

Is the exhaust free from blockage?

Are you holding the throttle open when you kick it?

It does have that spark...carb dosent drip...exhaust is good...haven't leak tested
