Is that a three wheeler? Anyhoo, welcome to the forums, and if you get a chance, the first thing I would check is compression. Then move to fuel. Make sure to pull the fuel line and indeed confirm that fuel is getting to the carb. Then it just may be that your fuel is old and you need to start with a fresh batch. That is where I would start. Again welcome and let us know what you figure out.
