First thing to check is:Is there a spark?
Next : Is there any fuel to the carburettor? Are the plugs wet?

There may be a multitude of errors. KISS. Check out the basics first. When something does not check out, investigate further. All the suggestions below will have you on a wild goose chase for sure.

An engine needs 1) air, 2) spark at the right time, 3) compression and 4 )fuel. Only 4 systems to check out. Start with one and aim to be able to cross it off your list of possible faults.

Those faults could be timing, none or weak spark, wrong spark plug connections.

Leaking inlet manifold open valves (stuck or no valve clearance. Air constriction , choke, aircleaner.

Carb settings, filters, fuel, blocked jets, float level.

Compression should be good enough to start, but other things might be against, like slow cranking.

Electrical system is usual place to start unless a fault is indicated elsewhere.
