Pull the air cleaner and pump the accelerator while looking down the carb. You should see a good squirt of fuel from each front barrel. If you don't see any squirts., try some starter fluid or a little bit of gas down the carb and crank it.
Some of the early engines used a fiber cam gear and they were known to let the timing chain jump a few teeth which would throw the cam timing and the valves off enough so that the engine wouldn't run. Most of the time the engine would still pop or backfire through the intake.
