You need to find what is missing, spark, timing/compression or fuel.

OR combination of.

Upfront, You should take it to someone that knows what they are doing. It is more likely that it will be less stressful and less expensive in the long run. Having said that,

Both fuel pressure and compression are done with a gauge that hooks up to the fuel test port and spark plug hole accordingly. They need to be in spec, not just present. I assume there is a visable spark from the plug when it was checked?
