    Hi,
    I would suggest disconnecting the ignition ground to isolate the engine from the frame.
    Peace,

    Even though you are getting gas to the carburetor it may not be going through the carburetor and into the engine. I'll give you the same answer as the last post. Remove the air filter and spray some carburetor cleaner right into the intake of the carb. If it runs on the carb cleaner you know you have a carb issue. If not then it must be an electrical issue.
