Ouch and welcome to the pound. (before you get crucified do a quick post introducing yourself).
Now let’s fire up the dog….My first guess it’s the plugs but let’s not guess. Are you getting a spark? http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/technical/11514-no-spark-troubleshooting-tree.html If yes then change the plugs and give it a shot - if it still doesnt work or you do not have a spark howler back.
Thanks and good luck.

Welcome to the site.
First are you sure gas is getting to the carb? Can you smell it? Pull the aircleaner cover and verify.
Next you need to find out if you have spark to the plugs. I would pull them anyway and look at them. Replace them, they are cheap.
Now, how are you starting it? You using that enrichener? If so are you flooding the bike. And are you keeping the throttle closed while starting?
Keep that battery on a tender and don't burn up your starter trying to start it.
