Hello!
I got a project bike with a raw engine on it (I did not install the kit myself, just learning about it through an old used one that was sitting outside for a year)
Previous owned said he replaced the CDI and spark plug, but did not know much about engines.
Well, neither do I. But I got it to start a few times.
I took the carb apart, and the float has a bit of gas in it, and the bowl seal was cracked. So I bought a new carb, nearly identical, and put it on. Same issue.
It turns as I pedal, but won't kick in.
The spark plug looks okay, I think:

but the part of the (ignition coil?) that connects to the spark plug fell out:

I put it back in, but not sure if the orientation of the copper cylinder piece to the clip looking piece matters, does it?
I tried taking out the spark plug, connecting it, and pedaling, am I supposed to see a spark?
I have access to a dmm and such, not sure what to test for, if it is the spark, at this point I have no idea
I took some pictures of the wiring:
Killswitch:

White goes to nothing?

Green and Yellowred go to kill switch.
Black from engine goes to yellowred to killswitch, and black to CDI
blue from engine goes to CDI green and killswitch green
CDI has black to engine and to killswitchs yellowred and blue to killswitch's green and to engine blue
white from engine doesn't connect to anything.
is this wired correctly?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
