Are you sure you put the spark plug leads on the right way around? Do you have spark at all?

I checked and The leads are on the right plugs and it is definetely sparking strong.

Try spraying some fuel/oil mix directly into the carb. If it fires, then pour fuel/oil into a small funnel into the carb intake hose.<br /><br />If it runs OK, then you have a fuel delivery problem, possibly the pump.
