    Pilot jet is clogged....for one reason or another. Check the bottom of the fuel tank, flow to the carb, and pull the carb and check the bowl and pilot jet. Order a carb kit so you'll have fresh seals and a new needle/seat on hand when you put it back together.

    if the pilot jet is not clogged and you put a carb kit in it and there is a new spark plug with good spark then maybe check your compression. how does it run once running? can you ride it around and stuff?

    its not low compression then. hmmmm.....your pilot idle screw is probably out of adjustment. check out a manual from this site to help you out
