Have you checked to see if have a good spark yet? I didn't see in any posts earlier that you checked. If you do have good spark, then the next couple of things to check would be compression and the flywheel key. If you don't have spark with the new plug, then it's probably time to look at a new coil.

If you're getting both fuel and spark, pop off the nut to the flywheel and make sure the key didn't get sheared...

Hey, no worries. At least it wasn't something major or costly.
