Remove a spark plug, connect spark plug wire to the spark plug you removed, ground the spark plug against bear metal of the engine, have someone crank the engine over, see if there is spark at the spark plug. If there is reinstall the spark plug and wire. Are you sure you are getting fuel to the engine?
