is there a fuel smell on the spark plug?

you could always throw a bit of fuel in there to see if it sarts up and if it does the carb is blocked (or the petrol tap is switched off)

if you can get a run with a bit of fuel in, knock off £50 at least as its a pain getting the carb cleaned if you don't know what you are doing!!
