Ok so let me give you the info that I have, and what I have done and I hope to get some people to help me out. I bought a 2004 Honda Recon 250 for $400 not running. I brought it home and started taking things apart to see what could be wrong with it and the carb was gummed up, and it was missing choke parts, brakes cables are frozen and it has no air filter, or tank heat shield. So I bought a new carb from Honda and got it for $100, put that on and a new spark plug made sure that the gas tank wasn’t gunked up and then tried to crank it. It will turn over and it tries to crank but it won’t spark. I did take the spark plug out and check for a spark and I can see the spark plug creating a spark. I don’t know what else to try. I can’t even get the motor to crank with a shot of carb cleaner.

So I need help with what I can check and try to get this thing to crank. Any and all advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
