first check to see if the black plastic intake manifold is fitting tight down on top of the engine. Make sure the opposite end is snugly tightened around the carb. If you had to make adjustments for any reason to these areas then try starting the engine.
If it's not firing up then:
Remove the air filter tube from the carb, cover the opening with your hand, and have someone turn the ignition key while holding your hand over the carb. If it starts now you may have a low compression issue. Can you feel any suction on your hand when the engine cranks over?
