leaking carb, still wont start

I thought you have to charge a new battery first, before using it.
A couple hours at 1A or 2A should do.

I looked up some stuff and I'm scared it might be my igniter assy?

I'm getting neg volts from the r/r, I tested it on the tail light and it was positive (around . 5 I think) so could this be it!?

0.75A overnight is much better for a new battery.

This is the igniter test. You'll need a meter with diode test facilities.

Is there any way to do it without a diode tester? It's not very easy getting to the store and back without transportation lol
Iv been messing around with things,
When I connect the coil to the connector with a third wire (canceling out the cdi box) I read 12 v going through the spark plug wire. Connected to the cdi, nothin, but I do get different readings when I hook the meter to it,
I checked the reg with the ohm meter, on side was around 1.3 and the other around . 3

My 20 fuse has blown twice in the last two days,
Starter button still not working

TThere's so many variables!

That could be it, I remember reading that the GZ250 has some kind of safety in the key contact such that if you hot wire it, it still won't work. To prevent theft.

So, please first try and get everything like it should be, and work from there.

It stopped working before I lost the key so it has to be something else, I hooked up a switch to replace the key
