Hi guys.

So here is my situation. My cg125 was running perfectly. The other day I lost the spark. Turns out the points adjustment screw had come loose. I had to pull the flywheel to reassemble the points. I have refitted the flywheel the same way it cam off. I have reset the points as per the manual. I now have a spark.

Heres the problem. The bike is hard to start. Sometimes kicks back. When it does start it wont rev above idle. Opening the throttle causes a stall with a loud pop and grey smoke from the carb. The plug is very black.

I havnt made any changes to the carb and it was perfect before this problem. Have I made a mess of the timing? Would the ignition cause problems like this or should I be looking at the carb?
 
installed the points place 180 degrees away from where it should be.

there cold also be a short in the capacitor wires. make sure all the insulators are in place and the wires are not touching anything.
 
Had another look this morning with a clearer head. I had gapped the points wrong causing the ignition to be retarded too much. All fixed now thanks
