Why doesn't my DT125 get a spark?

Common issues on these bikes tend to be, side stand switch, neutral switch and kill switch. Make sure those are good.
Check the ignition barrel connector block, you may have disturbed it when faffing about.
Easiest way to sort the power valve out is to take the exhaust off and line the valve up with the port directly.

@Calum I could open up the kill switch and see if that is working correctly. I doubt that the main switch or the side stand switch have something wrong with them since the rear light turns on when I flip the power on and I don't have a side stand switch actually

@claws Iridium plugs tend to have a shorter lifespan over regular plugs. Mainly due to the stronger spark they produce. I used Iridium plugs in my DTR and noticed a definite drop in performance after a month's use. As plugs are as cheap_as_chips they are an easy component to replace.

@claws The iridium plugs are cheaper on ebay, especially if you buy 4 at a time like I do; :winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face:

@DTRLuke the stock carburetor was running pretty badly and i couldnt really tune it either since the screws were seized so i switched to a 36mm keihin pwk. it was running pretty good actually until i switched a few things including the fuel tank
