What changes do I have to do?

You changed one thing here from what I see. Describe "does not run at all." It physically will not crank, or it makes no power? Did you notice anything else whatsoever?
Is the washer under the main jet? Just how sure are you that you cleaned every single bit of the carb? Did you knock the tank around after cleaning the carb? *if so, you may have to clean the carb again* Is your flywheel key sheared? Is it ANY harder to kick? What sequence of events lead up to the engine dying?
I have seen another applications where the flywheel and crank had some kind of old gunk on it and it caused some near-paranormal running conditions. The owner put it together and it ran fine. Quit running, wouldn't start. While kicking, it tried to fire and he replaced the plug. Started on the very next kick and then died about 2 seconds later. Wouldn't start again. Nuts. The key sheared and the flywheel rotated aronud bit by bit until it got in a running range and then rotated back out. The gunk just made the process slower. Hell, idk, check that as well.

Maybe he's talking about the slosh guard ? I don't have a washer under the main jet. Just a guard that slides over the top of it.
You have mentioned coil, ignition or source?
Methodically go through electrical from stator to spark plug. Check that all connections are clean and tight, all grounds, stator to plate and plate to crankcase. Bypass all switches (if only temp) Ohm all you can, make sure ign coil has clean, bare metal at mount.
Go through every in of wire harness lookin for chaffing, breaks, splices, "extras" that go no where but may ground out.
Try another new plug.

I was talking about ignition coil. and I took stator off and sanded all around to a bare metal. also can you time a stock stator or is it only one position untill you DreMel the holes
Remove stator cover and pull the flywheel...need a flywheel puller . The trigger coil sends the signal from the flywheel spinning and sends it to fire the coil for the spark plug
There are 2 coils on the stator plate for the ignition , one supplies the power ( source coil) the other is the trigger ( pickup coil ).
There should be a brass washer fitted under the main jet, if it is missing problems with the jetting may be experienced!
So rook carb off for the 5th time to inspect it and this happens.. The needle /main jet tube came out. Does this mean new carb? If so where can I get a decent one not Chinese?

Nailed it on the head!!! Got a buddy with a spare carb took the washer and putting it all back now let yall know thanks!!
It will still run without the washer...not good for the bike . Run like crap jetting will be off . You can get those washers at home depot they're 5mm . 10 for like 50 cents
Put the washer on aND runs like a damn champ 100x more power THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!
Now do timing plate mod and get about 4* advance. Noticable difference and well worth it.
Amazing how one tiny part can make such a difference !!
