You dont need two threads.

And If you have no idea about cars you shouldn't have touched it in the first place

Few things. Your spelling is atrocious.

So is the starter motor turning at all or is it just clicking?
If its turning the whole motor and u have fuel it has to be spark problem.
Check all coil leads and dizzy leads.
