Have feul, have good spark, and compression seems fine, but will not fire off.

Try starting fluid?
Sometimes the needle gets stuck in the seat and won't let gas into the bowl?
Loosen the bowl and squeeze the ball.
You using the choke?

Share some history (such as):
  1. When did it run last?
  2. What color is your spark?
  3. Is it fresh fuel?
  4. What is the compression reading?
Fire/Fuel/Compression are the needs for it to run but each has to be in a quality range.
Good Luck!
