    Is the kill switch off? It's probably the simplest thing. When was the last time it was running? Check all the connections.

    also the nuetral switch if sitting on the trike, the right side of the motor torwards the back there is a small metal cover that you can bend, two wires behind there make sure they are good and connected. if it doesnt see a neutral it won't start.

    He's right, does the neutral light try to light up when your kicking it? Even though you have it in neutral, that connection has to detect it, like Howard said.

    Also take *Edited**Edited* plug out and clean it off really good and w/ a wire brush, spray off w/ Carb Cleaner, dry. Then try grounding the plug on *Edited**Edited* head and kick start it, look for spark. It could just be fouled out.
