New guy with a non-runner

So, I just picked up a little dirt bike, free, since it doesn't run. And from what I can tell, this is the best place to turn for advice on them!

I snapped a few pics, just to show what I'm workin with...

From what I've researched, I guess it's a 90cc 4 stroke. But I really don't know much about them at all. Most of my experience is with cars, so I've got a steep learning curve ahead of me to get this thing running.

From initial checks, it seems to be getting fuel and spark, but won't actually fire. Any standard, more in depth checks I can do to trace down the issue? Talk to me like a child and I'll figure it out!

Oh yeah, and abuse/neglect may be an issue with it as well. It's got quite a few cracks and bends. Pretty sure it just got beat on when the kid got a newer, bigger bike.

Thanks for any help!
