This is probably a dumb question, but, did you try a new plug? Check the airbox, maybe a mouse filled it full of stuff??? And last but not least, is the kill switch on the left handlebar on? Don't laugh, i've done this too.

You DID check the kill switch, right? (Sorta kidding, but: been there, done that.)
With spark (and clean plug; wash it off with gasoline at least), compression, and gas (preferably dry, fresh gas; at least, drain the carburetor float bowl through the dump tube and re-fill it), oughta start! Give it a whiff of starting fluid!
Still won't start? Even with jumper cables to a car battery? Then, start your trouble-shooting check-list countdown.
Good luck.
