A new carb does not automatically mean a working carb on Chinese stuff but, if you are sure it is OK, the next check is timing. First shine a light down the plug hole, watch the piston get to TDC when you turn the crank by hand, and check if the timing mark on the flywheel agrees with it. If the TDC mark is nowhere near, the flywheel must have slipped and moved ignition timing out. If that is OK, check the timing mark(s) on the camshaft. At TDC the mark on cam or sprocket should line up or be 180 degrees out, not often valve timing slips, usually due to a worn chain, but I had a Honda 400 with this fault two weeks ago.

OK, Googled it and it looks like a Honda CG engine clone, which I think has gear drive camshaft, so extremely unlikely to slip. Have you checked the TDC timing for ignition? If that is OK, clean the old carb out by removing the jets and blowing them and the passages they came from out with an airline. If you still don't get a runner, maybe that spark isn't as good as you think.
