I'm so sorry to hear about your lack of success so far.

As I may have mentioned this model bike is one of the few I've owned that I was not able to get running and sold it as a non-runner.

With my bike the problem turned out to be poor compression.

Remove the spark plug and place your thumb over the hole. Open the throttle fully and have the choke off. Pust as hard as you can with your thumb and hit the starter.

If the engine's compression is not enough to smartly blow your finger off the hole it is less than 100 lbs and will not run.

Another test is to put about 5cc of raw gas in the spark plug hole and replace the plug. If the problem is carburation only it will start and run about 10 seconds.
