You need 3 things to start a bike:

compression
spark
fuel

So start with the easiest.  Take out the plug, plug it back into the wire, place it against a ground (bolt) on the frame and kick the bike over.  ANy spark there???

second, put your thumb over the hole were the plug was.  does it really push your finger off?  If not, top end time!

fuel, you need to blow out all the passages in the carb.  not just clean the jets.  Remove the fuel screw, both jets and run compressed air through the passages. Then reinstall the jets and set the air screw 2 turns out.

Fresh premixed gas in the tank! turn the GAS ON!  Then check that you have fuel in the bowl with the drain screw.  If you do, then turn on the choke, lean the bike over the the left side till it almost touches the ground for a good count of 5. You should see gas come out of the overfill tubes from the carb.  Right the bike and then kick.  Should start in a few kicks if everything checks out.

If any of this is over your head, just head down to your nearest bike repair facility and drop it off with a few bucks.
