Got any fuel to the carburetor? Remove the air filter, hold the choke open, and stroke the throttle linkage a couple of times. You should see two streams of gasoline coming from the accelerator pump jets - easy to see! If not, perhaps the carburetor has no fuel. Remove the line at the carb, hold a bottle over the end, and have someone crank the engine a few times - careful with sparks, cigarettes, and any other possible sources of ignition.
