Hmmmm...you have me stumped. If you have fuel, air and compression the only variable would be timing. I am far from an expert so I think that's the thing you need to focus on. There are way more knowledgeable people here so I hope they can help you more than I
Good luck and keep us posted!

It has fresh gas, good compression right around 140PSI cold. Adjusted the valves and checked the timing marks on the cam gear and generator that seems to be dead on. I'm really lost on this one. I've sprayed starting fluid through the carb and nothing. If I put a huge gap in the spark plug it will backfire really hard. Any advise would be great. This is the first gz250 I've worked on.

I didn't see anywhere to adjust the pickup coil, am I missing an adjustment there for the timing? Is it possible for the generator to have slipped off the key and rotated on the shaft? I don't have the puller so havent been able to pull the generator to check. But I would think if the timing marks on the generator match the cam gear that is should not be the issue.

Thanks for any advise
JB
