    Do you have fuel to the plugs? Can you see if your carb is got gas? Easy things to check, is the petcock turned on and have enough fuel in the tank? see if the fuel is flowing to the carb. If you are firing at the plugs you just need fuel to fire up. Then you can go from there.

    If it goes to the ignition it shoul go to power, ground or the coil

    Ignition isn't going to have a hanging loose wire

    If it's a red wire it should be used for power

    lol...aftermarket or homemade...if the other end of that bare wire is on the load side of the ignition switch it's supposed to power up something,maybe a fuel pump if he has one,since he has spark but the bike won't run....Is that bare end hot with the switch on and not when it's off?? Is something not working??
