Could be a few things...what condition is the motor in? Hows the compression? Valve clearance? Could just be too cold and too lean? Try covering the air intake with your hand to "choke" it? Could be battery run down, and it wont spin fast enough.
see if this helps you, and let us know what you find out.
wont start troubleshooting

 

it has good comp. brand new battery. i removed the air filter and put my hand there it is spitting out alot of gas. what are the settings for the screws.

 

It sounds like the cam timing is not right.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Do you have a service manual?
