i took it off earlier.

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.

then what would my problem be?

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.

How does that song go....another one bites the dust the impatience of youth....hope its nothing serious

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

did you ever up the jet ???

ok. i put a new spark plug on, it sparks, then when i put it on and try to start it.... nothing. its got good compression, and i did not up the jet.

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

vin number? and where is it located?

wait... im such an idiot. i held my finger over the the spot where the spark plug goes and it seemed to have compression. as i said before. please pardon my ignorance

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

i dont have a compression gauge

Then get one because without an actual number your are at the end of help.
