> Ok so you got spark…where you getting it in the first place and assuming you weren’t?(I know your not dumb just asking), I was going to say check and make sure the kill switch isn’t faulty but your getting spark now. Condition of the plugs/wires? Whats your starting procedure? On a carb’d bike like this you may have to play with the throttle a bit…also check the choke cable and make sure its actually working…not warm enough yet for a carb’d bike to start without it. No backfiring when trying to start?

he has a spark problem, not a choke problem.

Chaz - check the resistance of the wires you replaced. Maybe an internally corroded or broken wire.
