You need to find out if it&#39

You need to find out if it's fuel or electrical. When you look down inside the carb and give it some throttle do you see any streams of gas? If you pull a spark plug wire part way off can you hear the spark jumping while turning it over?
 
anybody else has any other sug

anybody else has any other suggestions!?!?
 
I'm not getting the vibe t

I'm not getting the vibe that this poster has the basics necessary to approach this. Might be best to take it in.
Bob's advice above is all that can be given with the limited amount of basic check that have been done- we don't shoot fish in barrels here.... especially fiberglass floating ones...
