    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
