Based on the very limited info - I'd say it's a fuel problem?

Does it turn over and eventually run the battery down? Or does it not turn over at all?

It's either air or fuel - rule them out one at a time...

thanks for the replies er
air filter is currently off because i am was injecting carb cleaner, the spark plug is relative clean and dry
fuel is getting from the tank into the carb and turns over well with good compression.
fuel filter is clean and i can't fin the fuel pump
thanks
