If it has a spark arrestor make sure it’s clean. Tried another spark plug?

OK So i cleaned the spark arrestor and tried a new plug
 
Def go a spark and when i take plug out it is wet so clearly getting fuel through
 
Also tried spraying carb cleaner into the inlet and still nothing
 
I am nearly ready to throw it in the bin but would welcome any ideas before I do

Check your flywheel to crank key way.
I believe it's part of the flywheel and if slightly off, it won't run.
 
Also check the tightness of the cylinder to block bolts(2).
They do tend to loosen and cause a MAJOR air leak.. 
You'll see dampness in the area if it's leaking
