A faulty or missing TW sensor (a.k.a. ECT sensor) can cause hard starting or a no-start condition due to grossly improper air:fuel mixture. You should look further into that problem.

tried that still didnt work I advanced it a little and it didnt help the motor has some aggresive cams but I dont think that would affect anything.

What is this about "aggressive cam"? Did you just install this now or did the engine run with it previously?

Have you ever operated a lawnmower or other small carbureted engine? What do you have to do on a cold start-up? Think about it.

The harness should have a plug for it. If it doesn't, then you should get another harness. All fuel-injected Hondas have a TW/ECT sensor.

The sensor is screwed into the cylinder head directly under the distributor. It has a 2 pins and a round black or white plastic shroud.

I have ect sensor one on the head and one on thermostat housing its plugged up to one on the head.And motor was rebuilt everything new except cams.And on smalll engines usually have to be primed. I did that already by unplugging dizzy.Wonder if missing vacuum lines is cause.
