check the side stand switch and try disconnecting the igntion switch wires and kickstarting it just hold the tip of the ht lead a feww mm from the frame or engine and watch for aspark dont rely on the p;ug or ht cap as they go faulty alot straight from the lead is how to check it.also the primary ignition coil in the magneto windings are proone to failing on chinese scooters im afraid,try a company called electrex they will do one for it.
