does it fire at all. Sputter and die or just no life at all?
If it definitly has spark then tip a bit of fresh fuel down the carbie. It will fire up then. If it dies soon after, say 30seconds or so, then its probably a fuel delivery problem.
If it still does not fire then its an ignition problem. Could be weak spark from a crook coil or bad condenser.
Best to check the points gap, and reset the timing and see what that does.
