Help!! NSR 125 Will Not Start

[dilema]

Hi
Sorry for the first post but I am stuck. I have a 1997 Honda NSR 125

my bike has been stood under a cover for approx 2mths

Went to start it last week and its trying but nothing.

I have changed the battery and spark plug.

All electrics are working and it tries when I push the electric start but nothing.
I have tried bumping it in 2nd and still no joy.

Anything else that I can check?
thanks in advance

Is the fuel getting through? Is the plug lead porous? I had that problem with an old car years ago, I thought I'd checked everything but turned out the sparks were tracking down the outside of the damp leads. That had been standing under cover during a damp winter too. Hope its of some help!

Might be worth changing the fuel too. Its been a very wet winter, so i'd think theres a chance that damp may be your problem.
