Does it catch then die when you release the key?  that's the usual
failure mode and indicates a bad ballast resistor (fortunately a cheap
part)

a few girls out there that still think I'm the real life MacGuyver for

If it's getting gas and it's getting spark, then it's a timing issue.

I suspect otherwise, though.  Does it even sputter at all?

What makes you think it is getting gas and spark?
