    is there gas in the bowl?, if so then i would put a drizzle in the cylinder and kick it if it fires then as DIRTCRASHER mentioned you have junk plugging up your carb and you need to properly clean it, pull it of the trike and take it apart, the new gas has a very short shelf life i am hearing as short as a few weeks before it starts gumming stuff up.
    dirt gos out of his way to help and it would do you well to listen as i am told he is one overly intelligent guy lol.

    Spark at the right time, compression and fuel and it should run. I would kick it over again and again and check the plug to see if it's wet.

    Everyone should run an inline fuel filter.......

    have you checked your timing? my atc200 was off on timing and would not even get starter fluid to pop(it also was fine until getting put up for ~4-5 mo). also set your valve lash. both these only take about 25 min total and could get you running

    also ohm out your stator to make sure your getting "good" spark, but I think it is your timing.

    Not to sound like an idiot, but you do have the gas turned on right? A buddy called me a couple weeks ago cause he could not get his new atv that he bought his daughter started and i literally turned on the gas an fired right up. Just checking all the bases, not trying to piss anyone off!!
