A quick ck would be to squirt some feul mix in the carb to see if it will fire if so, then you will need to remove the carb and clean it.

Hi ive had carb stripped cleaned and new gaskets fitted and sprayed easy start in carb still not firing. it seems no fuel is getting into the block does the fuel system need to be pressurissed to get fuel into the cylinders.. both spark plugs are sparking fine

Go to the Engine FAQs, Outboard won't start.

Good luck.
