    I actually own that machine (going to give it to my BIL).
     
    What is the compression of the engine?
     
    Did you check the flywheel key, that it's not sheared.
     
    Sometimes, a little 2 stroke oil in the top end (2 teaspoons) 
    help bump up the compression to help the machine get started.
     
    Also, as the engine may be flooded, pull the spark plug, flip it upside down
    and crank over.  Look for excess fuel coming out.  Dry the plug with carb or brake cleaner.

    Also, spark plug gap should be .025".  
     
    Check for spark, at the plug, grounded to the head.
