fresh gas, fresh air, spark & compression are needed for start up.
it has all that I forgot to mention that the day before after replacing the carburetor it started just fine I let it run for about ten minutes then turned it off and the next day I tried and it just cranked ..starts now for a second or two with starter fluid ??fresh gas, fresh air, spark & compression are needed for start up.

Check the cut off solenoid on the carb.
Check the wire is in all the way and if you have a 2 wire plug check that the ground wire is actually grounding.
You can go whole hog, pull it off & check it is opening when the key is on.
Over time the insulation at the plug pulls back & the wires short or break

Excellent news.
The 2 pin plug is supposed to have a handed plug but as you have noticed, not particularly well done.
