    Hi,
    Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Check the carb for an unattached wire to the fuel shutoff solenoid, if so equipped. It can be checked by removing the air filter and pouring a small amount of fuel into the carb to see ifit cranks. Also I will point out that few plugs come gapped correctly at 0.030"
    Peace,
    Clarke
