Fit a new plug, it can just be a faulty one, if that doesn't work, clean the carb out. Any engine needs exactly the right fuel/air ratio, a partly blocked jet will lean out the ratio, so it needs the extra fuel from the starting fluid, to fire. Other possibility is compression down, you state it has got compression, but how much? Less than 90psi and they get bad to start, but will usually run once started on fluid.

I actually have a 99 Honda foreman 450 es that hasn't been run in some years. I went through installed new battery, carb easy, oil trade, tired old gasoline and positioned clean gas in and nevertheless nothing. I observed the R light is on in addition to the N mild and it would not roll around so I'm assuming its caught in reverse any help with what I must do to get it going for walks. Thanks

What do you mean by "nothing"? Does it turn over on the starter but not fire or what? I work on a Cockler's 450 that has the reverse light come on sometimes when you switch on, it will then not fire when spun on the starter, but switch off and on again and the reverse light may not come on, it will then start instantly on the button. As bike is a heap of rust and wiring deeply suspect (any slight breach of the insulation causes the wires to turn to verdigris, in salt water, so many have been cut and joined or bypassed) I suspect a wiring fault backfeeds power into the reverse light circuit and also cuts the spark. I seem to recall disconnecting the ES computer and the fault went off.
