Forget about the carb for now. It was the last thing you changed, and is likely the problem, but - lets see if the rest of the stuff needed to run is present. You will need a can of carb cleaner(any brand), blade screwdriver, a plug wrench or socket, and a battery charger. A helper is nice, but not required.
1. Turn the fuel off at the tank. Leave it off.
2. Remove all plugs, and attach the plug wires to them, lay the plugs on the top of the engine so they are touching metal.
3. Remove the air cleaner hose to the carb intake.
4. Set the throttle to about 3/4 open.
5. Set the choke to off, or open(no choke).

10. If the engine fires, remove the carb and diagnose why you aren't getting fuel to the main or idle jets. Most likely something in the float, or needle and seat which allows fuel to be delivered to the float bowl.
