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
