is there fuel in the carb? maybe a shot of starting fluid...

The 4 stroke is a simple system of suck-squeeze-bang-blow. that's all it does. when you turn it over you should get a push of air from the exhaust side and a suction of air from the intake side. you can test with the palm of your hand.

the valves must be closing and the cam timing correct for this to happen of course.

cam timing can be tricky and frustrating and it has to be exactly right.

take the spark plug out and put your thumb over the hole. turn the engine over- if it pushes your thumb off then the valves are closing.
