Try having a friend push you and pop it in third or forth gear.check your kill switch isnt grounded out.
Try starting it with a brief spray of ether into the intake. If it runs briefly it indicates a fuel/carb problem.
If it doesn't run the problem could be spark related, poor induction due to crank seals or other air leaks or perhaps oil is settling in the crankcase and corrupting the incoming charge.
With a new plug and fresh gas it should start. Check to make sure there isn't a kill switch turned off or that the gas petcock from the tank to the carb is on.
How did you check the fuel filter? Disconnecting it from the fuel line that goes to the carb is the best way, making sure the gas is turned on under the tank. Bleed off a little gas into a can or something just to make sure the filter isn't plugged.
The last thing I'd do is take off the air filter and spray a little starting fluid in the carb. It may start and run several times if there is old gas in there somewhere. Remember the bowl on the carb is probably still full of old gas. After some fresh fuel reaches the plug it should start and continue to run.
(You might drain the bowl on the carb of ols gas before you go any further)
Good luck!
