I tried looking around for a place to post this question but found nowhere suitable.
Moderators may want to move this to the right area. Thanks and sorry.

I got the carb cleaned up on the 1980 tri moto 125 and I tried to fire it up but got nothing for the first 7-8 pulls.

I pulled the spark plug and held it against the head and pulled the rip cord a few more times to verify I was getting spark and there was a blue lightning bolt jumping across the never land at the end of the plug. I reinstalled the plug and cranked on that sucker a few more times but no firing was going on inside that combustion chamber. I pulled the plug again and retested it, no spark the first 3 pulls then a spark on the 4th pull and no spark thereafter.

So, what do you think happened to my spark?
