Agility 50 / Agility 50 not starting. Would appreciate some guidance.

First of all Hi to all, i've been looking though the forum for the past week now and found plenty of help and guides but i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all so thought i'd ask for help.
So I bought a used 2009 Agility 50 a week ago. It was running ok but not great. Gave it a service for piece of mind and changed the low oil, dirty air filter and old spark plug and a ran a bit better. Also Cut the CDI for a bit extra performance.
Coming home from work on it on Thursday i noticed it was bogging down at high rpm/high speed so that wasn't great but then it just died and i coasted to a stop at the side of road. Pulled it off the road and tried to restart it with electric and it just turned over, kick start had no effect. Ended up having to push it home for miles where it is now sat not working.
So I've taken the seat off to check things:
Spark Plug It has a spark although the end is white so not getting any fuel. put my finger down the hole and can feel suction when turning it over.
Valve Adjustment Heard it could be valve timings so had that open and re-calibrated them to 0.004 each.
Air Air system seems fine, and i've changed the filter.
Fuel I've noticed the carb isn't getting any fuel from the petcock/filter so i changed the filter for a new one which didn't help. Checked all fuel hoses and they are all ok. Took off the vacuum hose to petcock and sucked with other hose into a bucket and fuel came out so petcock seems fine I think?
Carb So thought i'd take the carb off to have a look and potential clean. Drained the fuel out and went to open it up but as always there's one screw that won't come out so had to give up on that. may just replace with a new one as they are cheap enough.
So after all that and maybe other bits it's still not starting at all just turns over. Any help/guidance/input of what else it might be would be greatly appreciated.
