Oops My ATV isn't starting - what is it?

So last time I tried to start my ATV (prob like 3-4 months ago) it was turning over and firing but wouldn't start, as the reduction gear was missing a few teeth, enough that the starter would slip and it wasn't turning the engine over fast enough.

Anyways fast forward to know, I replaced the reduction gear - but it is just turning over and not starting. I don't think it is a spark plug because I have no idea how to fix a spark plug, and also, there is no reason it would have stopped working (it just sat, nothing happened to it). The gas I put in may not be as high octane as the one I used to have in it, but I don't think that would cause it to not run. And I know the carb is working, because the air it pumps out of the exhaust smells like gas, and if I put my hand in front of it for a while my hand smells, too. What can it be?
