you could take out the spark plug replace plug cap and pull the starter to see if you have spark. see how you get on with that. or maybe you done that all ready?

Hey Dougstar thought about too but there three lines coming out of the gas tank 2 are going to the carb the 3 third one is coming out of the gas cap I thought it was for air pressure any thoughts on that is that normal

That's normal. The one that goes from the black fill cap is a vent and should go to atmosphere. DDM sells a kit to change it to a little vent thats about 2 in tall if you want.
 
Are you using fresh gas or is it stuff you had out in your garage? When I got my car, the PO gave me about 1/2 gas of premix they had made up and had tuned the car with. I left it in my garage and could not get the thing to start, many a blister and curse. Tried all kinds of things and eventually just tossed in new gas with stock needle settings and it fired right up.

Put a electrical tester in the spark plug boot (were the plug inserts into) and spin it over and if it reads nothing then the coil is probably bad. Good thing could are not too expensive, there like 12 bucks. Oh before that take off the spark plug boot and see if the little copper coloured metal thing is attached to the wire properly
