I just got it and it ran fine for a day. Then the next day it wouldn't start. I got a new battery, changed the oil, changed the spark plug. Yes, there is spark. Yes, there is gas. Still won't turn over. I don't know much about carburetors. HELP PLEASE!!!!

Check and make sure the spark plug is firing.
Remove the plug from the engine.
Insert a known working spark plug into the plug cap.
Rest the threads of the plug against a metal part of the engine.
Try to start the bike.
The spark plug should spark.
If it doesn't, electrical troubleshooting is required.
If it sparks, clean the carburetor.
Left over bad gas from the previous owner may have clogged the carburetor and the jets.
