Good as far as i know, i filled it up and my wifes poaris out of the same can last time i rode, and hers cranks fine. even it was gas, wouldn't carb cleaner make it fire up for a second? i checked both plugs and they are sparking. seems like a dull spark but i guess that's normal.

If you are getting air, fuel, and spark it should fire. This has left me scratching my head. Have you tried actual starting fluid. Im really out of ideas.

Check your valves they may need to be adjusted.

Update: took it to a motercycle shop. they guys seems to know his stuff. I told him i though valves and he said he would check it out. he called today and says i got bad gas. it says its sugary. if that's the case, which i don't know about how come with starter fluid and spark it wouldn't even fire? also, i put the same gas in my wifes polaris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I found that even though my plugs were sparking, w/weak spark the cylinder won't run. I found that my plug wires were not making good connection in the boots and replaced them with good plug wires and problem went away. Just a thought.
