Have a primavera 125 with a 130 polini upgrade. rebuild after kickstart wouldn't kick. Lots of jelly nosense throughout engine and carb. Took it apart, cleaned everything, got a felt ring for intake, which wasn't on it after the 130 was put onit. got it all back together, clean gas, new plug, good spark, has gas on plug when I take it out, but it wont start up....16/16 carb by the way, any help please, I want to say I rebuilt it, but maybe I should have taken it in....I also rode it for a while after 130 was put in it with no problems.??I don't know, help.

1. Spark
2. Fuel Flow
3. Compression

Those are the 3 magic beans.

You mention good spark.... checking your fuel flow and compression are next.
Let us know what ya got and we can try and kick the tires with ya a bit, maybe point you in the right direction.

4. Non plugged exhaust. Extra bean.
Got bit twice by that one, although they will sort of start up sometimes, so not a true magic bean.
