Other Yahmaha pw 80 doesn't run

I have a 2004 yahmaha pw 80 with all new coil, spark plug, and CDI box. I try to start it but it won't pop over or anything. It seems like it has a faint spark but I don't know how to fix it. I've tried cleaning grounds and connections but it still seems like it has a faint spark.please help me

Howdy.
Have you tried using a small burst of starting fluid to see if it's getting fuel from the carburetor?
It'll run for a short time on starting fluid.
Starting fluid doesn't have oil in it, so if the bike is pre-mixed, you'll want to minimize the testing with it.

I've tried spraying starting fluid but it is getting fuel because I full the plug and it wet after I lock it over for some time so it is getting fuel and it feels like it's getting compression but I don't have a tester to see for sure

The kill switch is disconnected or tested as good?
Is there continuity/resistance through the stator?

I have checked reeds and cleaned the carb countless times and I checked the kill switch and there is no issues with it, I get continuity when on off position and 0 continuity when on run.
 
Have you confirmed compression? If you can see spark and the timing is good, and you confirmed fuel, seems like a compression check would be a good idea.

I have confirmed fuel I do not have a compression tester but for an 80 the compression feels good and the bike doesn't have a ton of hours, the issue is the spark because it would only spark every so often and bad spark when it does spark
 
Get a proper spark tester .. and a compression gauge ... You can't test properly without the right equipment ..... Got to have the info .....
