spray some carb cleaner direct into carb intake and then it should start

sounds like your spark or filter, put the originals back on and check the difference.

youve probably got an air block in the pipe

2 options , with the engine off , kick over the kick start a few times (warning this is a cog killer) adn get fuel to the carb

the fuel tank has 2 pipes coming out
1 goes to the carb
2 goes to the enging housing (vacuum pipe)

2nd option , remove the large pipe that fits onto the top of the engine (nipple thingy ) the other end of it goes into the petrol tank , this is the fuel vacuum pipe , it only releases petrol when it has slight vaccuum, gently suck on it (not alot ) this opens the valve and petrol should flow through the pipe into the carburettor,

if it doesnt , try removing the fuel pipe from the carb, then sucking it should P%SS out

if still nowt

it may be the carburetor is as dry a nuns crutch
so either remove the bottom of the carb and top up witha little fuel ,

Or ive found just spraying a little carb cleaner into the air take sorts it out
