i dont know exactly how much psi, but if i dont use the pressure relief valve on the side i cant almost lift the bike with the pull cord by the 3rd pull, everyone ive talked to said that got good compression.

bought it as a project, dont know when it last ran, cab was not that bad, and no mouse houses in the intake n such, tells me its only been sitting a year or more max, the frame was not seized and is still nice and lubed up, so it was kept inside. but before i payed 250 bucks for it :P lol. i checked compression, spark, and i made sure the carb was all intact. i figured from there, its only going to be minor stuff getting it running. but ive had no luck.

turned over nicely so i knew it was not seized or seizing, have to let out piston pressure every 3 pulls or u cant turn it over with the pull cord, so it had the compression needed to run, and it has nice spark. so whats holding it back? i have no clue been racking at my brain for a month now

You need compression, fuel, spark and air for it to run. Start checking them one by one. Sounds like you already have a couple checked off.

sounds like cdi is bad or was not put in right. did you check the gap between the cam and magneito.

i have a prime spark, and the gap between the magnito on the cam is perfect. i have compression fuel air and spark. no run. can the CDI effect this?

I suppose if it is not the correct CDI for this machine it would be possible to get good spark but at the wrong time!
