Welcome to the board. just a few questions. Has it run recently or has it been sitting? Have you checked the fuel and the spark? When you crank it does it spin fast or slow? Meaning does it sound like it has compression, does it spit or sputter like its trying.

you may want to pul the valve cover off to make sure the valves are moving and are the fuel lines cleaned out
