If you have the plug out and touching unpainted metal while you kick it, you should be able to see if it is sparking.

That will eliminate the key switch, kill switch, pickup,cdi,and stator as your problem.

I suspect that running it with no airbox has caused your engine to run lean (very hot)

You may have caused some damage to the piston and rings.

Lets hope not.

A compression test will let you know if any internal damage is done.

So you kept riding it even though I suggested you not till you got the bigger main jet. I bet the motor went KABOOM!!!

If you don't give a number, your good compression is NOT!

That tells you nothing. An engine with 40 PSI compression will blow your finger of, but will NEVER run. Either use a compression gauge and check it properly or
