    do you mean the electric start has stopped working!!!

    if the engine wont fire up...clean the plug...then check for a spark...

    its common for the plug to oil up from all the extra lube that was put on the barrel and piston when it was installed ;)

    is there a spark at the plug??

    take the plug out and connect the plug cap to it...hold end of plug against engine (metal part) and kick engine over...see if plug sparks!!!

    so it turns over but doesent fire? chances are your battery hasent got enough juice to spin the engine (youve just ripped a worn 50 out and put in a fresh 70 kit remember) just ride it about a few days off the kick, if it doesent charge enough to start it your batrt is fucked.. or the ring end is incorrect and the barrel will die in 2 days
