Answer:
Well it sounds like a gas/air mix problen right off the bat. After that you may want to check your feul filter and clean or replace it. It may not be letting enough gas through to keep the bike running. Also you can check your timing just to be sure it's good. Clean spark plugs and all that mess will also help.

The float level in the carb needs attention. Pull the spark plug and clean/dry/or replace. Try again to start the bike. If just a flicker of starting, hold the throttle WIDE OPEN, try again for five-ten kicks. If still doesn't start the float is letting in too much fuel and needs attention.
