Your question was tough to read. I think there is a generation gap…lol.
Soda in the top end? I hope you didn’t mean soda top/pop? I know Coca-Cola with aluminum foil can be used to remove rust, but I have never heard of someone putting it in there spark plug hole.
Anyway. If you are getting spark, drained the exhaust, your carb is clean, your air filter is clean and you have fresh gas, the bike should start. If you are kicking it and it won’t go, push start it.
To push start:
1. Stand on the left side of the bike.
2. Make sure the fuel is on.
3. Push the bike until you get up to running speed (it helps if someone is pushing you, but you can do it yourself).
4. Jump on the seat sidesaddle and click the bike into gear at the same time. This engages the engine to the rear wheel, your weight helps the rear wheel get traction and spins the engine faster than you can kick it.
5. Be ready. When you click the bike into gear and the rear wheel starts spinning the engine, the engine will spark to life. When it does, it will want to take off. Be ready for this or the bike will take off and you will crash.
6. Push starting is best done on a hard surface such as concrete or asphalt (the street).
