You might want to check to make sure you have spark. I just had one that the plug wire was pinched by the cowling and shorted it out. Could be that simple. Yes to the carb cleaning. The best way is to soak it, and blow it out with compressed air. Make sure all the passages are clear. I went to Harbor freight and bought a ignition spark tester that hooks between the wire and the plug. $1.49 and it works great. A lot easier than the old grounding method. You can even see it in the daylight.
