    have you checked for a spark also is the plug wet after you've tried to start it?.

    take the plug out and tip a tiny bit of petrol in then refit plug and try it and see what it does

    check the plug, clean it up and gap it, then rest it against the head to check you've got a good spark whilst turning it over

    Try some easy start down the inlet to see if it fires
