I was riding it, I got off for about an hour, went to start it again and it wouldn't start. Its gettin gas and its getting spark at the plug. The oil light comes on for a second and the nutral light comes on and stays on while your trying to start it. I don't know what it could be, do you think it could have jumped time? And how would you go about checking the timing? Any seggestions on anything would be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. It could have jumped time, but first make sure you're getting a good, bright blue spark at the sparkplug. If you feel the spark and gas are correct, then you can check the timing. To check the timing, put the piston on TDC by aligning the "T" mark on the flywheel. There's a timing hole cap on the left side of the engine that you remove to see the marks on the flywheel. Next remove the valve/head cover and check the marks on the cam gear. The two flat marks should be level with the top of the head. If they're not, turn the flywheel one complete turn and stop on the "T" mark again. If the marks on the cam gear still aren't aligned with the top of the head, it's out of time.
