Was riding my bike two days ago and then I put it away. Yesterday I tried to get it started and it would sput once or twice but it wouldn't start at all. Today after I got home from work I tried to get it started and same thing happened. I figured it was the magneto so I changed it out with a brand new but same thing. Its getting spark and it has good fuel in it.
Anyone have any idea. I am thinking that the carb is clogged up with some junk. But I don't know. What should I do?

What motor and carb do you have? If you dont know perhaps post a picture...
In general...
Check that your white wire isn't grounding out or touching anything
disconnect the kill switch to eliminate that as a problem
check your spark plug cap to make sure its not damaged or disconnected
You could also pull the plug and inspect it, perhaps its flooded? Did you have the fuel valve turned off while it was parked? (always turn off the fuel valve when the motor is not running) Pull the air filter and make sure its not gummed up...
That's would be a good start....
