Man, I'm not sure what you even said, you really need to use complete sentences. But I'll try to help anyway

If the engine cranks but doesn't start check things in this order:

1. check fuel output: remove fuel line at carb and put in a mason jar, turn over the cart and look for fuel in the jar and also how well it flows

2. check spark: I prefer the $5 spark tester from your local parts store

3. check compression: you'll need at least 100 psi to run, but the more the better

4. check air filter and make sure it's not plugged or there's nothing stuck in there

If you have fuel, spark, compression, and air.....it should run. If one of the above are absent, you will not run.

Does the starter turn the engine over: when the starter is spinning, is it spinning the engine? If not, maybe you have a loose belt on the starter.
