When u roll the bike forwards the piston moves and no spark. <-With clutch disengaged->. When I roll it backwards, I get the piston moving 4 times as much and fast as when rolled forward. I still don't know what the problem is. I am getting fuel.
 
don't worry about the forward/backward difference.
make sure the clutch fully engages and fully disengages.
adjust the cable slack and the flower nut till the clutch works properly
 
I know that I was getting spark but very weak spark but still spark. And now I don't get spark when I roll the bike forwards or backwards. It feels like I am getting more compression and piston movment when I roll the bike backwards.
Do u still think that this is a clutch problem, compression problem or a electrical problem? I am definitely getting gas.
 
no idea what those links are, as they don't show anything on my 'puter - had a backwards motor one time many years ago & if I recall correctly it was a bad CDI unit - it ran just fine backwards
