If your sure your getting spark then spray a little starting fluid into the carburetor intake while cranking and see if it starts.  If it fires up then it’s a fuel issue. Could need  cleaning of the carburetor OR the fuel flow is not coming from the tank.  
Start by pulling the fuel line off of the carburetor and verifying that you have fuel flow from the tank with the petcock open. 
if that’s good then the carb has to come of and be taken apart/cleaned out.  
But before you do all of this make sure your gas is good and your spark plug is new and not fouled up.

By all means try all the suggested tests but don't skip one of the most important ones: do a compression test!

Got it running.  We gas and had to prime the heck out of the new carburetor!

thanks all!!

That’s great. Always go the simple route first. Usually something minor especially when you know you have spark.  
Great work, ride safe.
