you should also consider getting rid of the stock spark plug wire because they are junk. they are nothing more than a peice of copper wire with so called insulation over it.
you should get an automotive type spark plug wire with a rubber boot instead of the stock one. if you go this route, you will need to screw the top cap back onto the spark plug for the autromotive boot to snap onto it. the stock plug wire just unscrews from the cdi, and you can screw a new wire onto the cdi. just twist the plug wire off of the cdi (lefty loosey) and you will see a screw inside the cdi. now just screw the new wire onto the screw and you're done.
make sure that you're spark plug gap is set right also.
also, if you used the push together connectors for your wiring, you should cut them off and solder all of your wire connections together, and then heat shrink them.
the stock push together connectors will fail over time because they will vibrate loose or break apart.
make sure that the white wire is not connected to anything (like a headlight) and make sure that the end is cut off, and capped. make sure that there are no bare wires touching anything because this can give you headaches and have you chasing ghosts trying to figure out why the engine won't run.
it's harder for an engine to start on 16:1, but it should still start up fairly quick. when you go to 32:1 it'll start even better and once the engine is broken in, it'll get even better.
then you get to mess around tuning the carb, and modifying stuff to make it faster....lol
