anyone had this problem before,or can you help me out anyway

Almost all of us have experienced an engine that wouldn't start but
you're not giving us much to work with. Do you have ignition spark at
the plugs, and do you know how to test for it ? That's the classic
starting point. If you don't have a strong spark then you've got a
problem with the ignition system: points, coil, electronic ignition
module, fuse, circuit breaker, etc.

If you've got spark and compression, then it's a fuel system issue:
carbuertor, fuel filter, injection system, etc.

If you have no idea how any of this works or how to test it then you
need a professional mechanic.
