I gaped it at .30 and I put it back. But I went ahead and bought a new one and it won't start
id you try to reset it back to the previous gap?

Wow could have stressed the coil trying to jump the greater gap might want to check where the ground is soldered to the frame of wire loop and see if it's solidly connected!does it show spark during test?

No spark during test but when I put the spark plug back on it started and idled for about a min then stalled out and won't start again this has been going on

If no spark when tested I would go thru all the wires and connections to make sure all is good and the ground wire on wire loop at the solder joint they have been known to let go there and give a intermittent out put to the cdi.

Are you sure this is the only problem? The spark plug?

Did you buy the right plug? I have seen plugs that are just slightly to long hit the piston just enough to close the gap and short out.

be sure to check your plug cap to see that it is making good contact with top of plug

Sounds like you are having intermittent ignition problems. Check your spark plug wire at the CDI and at the boot. Unscrew the plug wire from the CDI. Snip off a bit then screw it back on. At the boot, make sure the loop is facing out.
