And are the keihin carbs really that much better than the cheaper ones? I looked for a while to find a decent deal on one and wondering if I wasted my time.

It has a pump, the fuel tank is about the same height as the carb. I adjusted the air fuel screw, but turned it out 2 1/2 turns thinking that's what I had read on here as a good start point. Its stock size , which if I remember correctly is 24 mm?

Its not a filter. It holds a small amount of gas and has an over flow tube in the middle that runs back to the tank. Carb is getting gas. Guess my next question is how far out of adjustment do the valves have to be for it not to run at all?

One comes from the pump, one runs back to the fuel tank and then other goes to the carb

That's what I am thinking.Not the cdi, tried 2 different ones. I am thinking the timing. Will check the valves, but I wouldnt think they would be that far off considering the bike has only 1000 miles on it.

Tried that first thing. Guy I work with suggested it. He has never been nice to me before, but was kind enough to suggest the sugar to get the scooter started. I haven't ever heard of that, but he said it would start first crank with a little sugar

A little. Thinking either not enough gas to fire or valves way out of adjustment?

Good spark on the valve cover. Checked the engine ground before hand so I didn't try that.

It isn't the filter , it has a reservoir for what reason I am not for sure. Working on a pic now. I pulled the plug and stuck it against the frame. Nice strong spark.
