Did you try pulling the starter cord first

Iam having a similar prob starting mine
I have done all the obvious i e plug ,oil , x filter but still know joy
(full with petrol )

Obvious question is does the spark plug actually visibly spark?
Can you smell petrol when you try to start it and fail?

Worth having a look online for the full service manual. That is what I did
for mine when it's self propelling drive stopped working.

I even discovered from that document that the official correct way to
upend it was not what I had previously been doing.

BTW I presume you have resurrected some prehistoric thread on the
parasitic mirror of uk.d-i-y - why don't you use the newsgroup?
