There should be a lead and a spark plug cap. Can you take a picture to show us what you mean.

after trawling the net and looking at dozens of pics, i've educated myself as to what the problem was, it was me, haha, i was holding the spark plug cap the wrong way, i now realise which end the lead goes in, so its back together and im hoping to get it running this week, but thanks for replying  ;D
