Move the flywheel by hand to see if engine is free, if it is it must be starter motor, so try putting stong power cable from live on battery to the power feed on starter motor if wont turn over then will have to fix it

Does your starter motor click?
Have you tried to bypass your ignition?
have you decompressed the cylinder first (choke)
