New to the forum here, so hi everybody!
I purchased what was essentially a motorcycle in a box for 150$. Everything was completely stripped off the bike and it was just a frame, motor on the side and the rest of the parts in various boxes and cup...

I've been spending most of my time putting all the pieces back together and frequenting this forum a lot to get helpful advice and tips from all of awesome guys!

I'm new to the whole mechanical world and I am running into some issues...

1. 
   [/
   • bike will turn over when I jump the solenoid but I am not getting a spark.
   • My TCI box has two ports to it and I only know which block connecter goes into one of them...
   • I can smell hints of fuel on the plugs but they are not wet. Carbs?

Follow the wires back from your ignition coils. They each will have a red/white and the other orange or black. The block that these go into will connect to the tci. The pickup coil above your left hand spark plug also plugs into the tci, these wires are colored w/r, w/g and b/w.
Are they old plugs? Try cleaning the 'contacts' with some very fine grit sandpaper.
And definitely clean the carbs inside and out.
