Are you getting a spark and the spark plugs?

Are you getting any fuel pumped through?

Try spraying some 'quick start' into the AFM if the engine catches and then dies when spinning over chances are it's a fuel related problem.

if fuel injectors are switching but your getting no sparks, it could be a dizzy cap and rotor arm problem.
