igot a 6 volt battery for it. it is one of those small ones like a moped takes.i have blue spark but i have to put my hand over it to see it.would it be because the battery is to small.?

Not likely, if you have a good spark, in the right place, and enough fuel then you should have ignition.
Is the plug wet (fuel) after a good few kicks of the starter?
Your plug-cap could be breaking down under load (engine compression) and leading to no starting.

found the problem.i think i need a bigger battery,i have a 6 volt 4a battery but i dont have the alternater hooked up.i am running it direct to the coil.if i hook my battery charger to in it runs great,but when i unhook the charger it runs for about
5 seconds and dies.if i get the alternater hooked up would that battery work.
