Regardless of model, first check your spark with a spark tester. No spark? Clean your points.

If that's good, then disconnect the fuel line from the carb and hold it into a Jerry can. Have someone crank it. You should see strong spurts of fuel. No fuel? Fill up the tank if it's low as they can develop pinholes in the line. If still nothing then your pump probably needs rebuilt.

If you have fuel then remove the air cleaner and actuate the throttle linkage. You should see gas shoot into the air duct. If not then your accelerator pump is bad.
