I would check the fuel flow and the carb. How full is your tank?

do you have the petcock turned to the reserve if your gas amount is low?

no its not on reserve. and if i dump gas in the spark pug hole it still wont fire. so you would think it didnt have spark but if i hold the the plug it sparks the trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro out of me

Could be a fouled plug. Try replacing it.
Good luck!

Bad gas? Is it fresh fuel?

Clean the carb and then put a fuel filter in line, new gas and check spark.
