Start with the basics ---
Air
Fuel
Spark

Air - does the choke open and close? Does the throttle? Look down the bore of the carb while operating each of the cables from the dash.
Fuel - clean the system as Jonathan directed.
Spark - remove the spark plug and lay it on top of the motor with the spark plug wire connected. Now crank the engine and observe the spark at the plug. It should be bright blue and spark as long as the engine is being turned over.

Check this and report back.
