get yourself a volt/ohm meter and learn how to troubleshoot your system. I'm not trying to be hostile or anything, but thats how to find your problem. if you dont check your wiring and confirm its all correct, you wont know.

i know im gonna have to get a volt meter, just wondered if there was a common problem. i check for a spark by earthin the sparkplug by a bare part of the frame, also by just holding my hand over the end of the plug, now pain would tell me if it were sparking at all eh? lol and yes, there is no spark on all 4. have to get a volt meter over the week end!

Could it be something as simple as checking the fuses?

Try some new plugs first if you haven't. You should be able to just get 1 new plug and check the spark on that, and if that works than you know what to do. lol

I hate to point to the obvious... but is the engine kill switch in the run position?

thanks for your answers guys, i checked with a different spark plug already, and i too thought it may be the kill switch to fault as thats what it seems like, i dont wanna go chucking parts at it yet as its a street fighter project. i know..yes i HAVE to get a volt meter, will do this week end, how ever, cant the kill switch be by passed by unpluging and joining the two wires going into it to test?
