Here are the things i've checked/done so far:

-Checked for spark, its a bright blue fat one (even changed the plug as a precaution)
- Checked all ignition cables
- Cleaned carby (jets and all) and checked for blockages in fuel line
- Drained all old fuel (was four months old...) from fuel tank and replaced with new fuel
- has a brand new air filter, freshly oiled
- checked reed valves
- disconnected kill switch (has a brand new one) and kicked it over, no luck.
- plenty of compression (haven't checked with a gauge but you can feel it when you try to kick it...)

Feels like i've checked everything! It just wont start...
Stupid question,
BUT, it is not the fuel cap blocked therefore not allowing vacuum for fuel???
Try releasing or undoing cap and see what happens.
Had similar occurances on a road racer.
