Firstly i am not an Oily Mechanic, However I tend to agree withe SavG.
If it starts on a spray (High Octane) starter in the carb it is able to start.
Therefore you do have a spark, maybe not Hot enough for petrol (GAS).
or you are not getting the fuel to the carb, Start it on prime, this is gravity fed, if it starts like the spray then you are not getting Fuel, try the same on reserve, now if if it starts, the Petcock Widget which works under Engine pressure is working so I would expect some kind of blockage in the tank on the "Normal " setting. If it dont its the Widget see the technical oily hand guys.
Now if it dont start on prime take the tank off and change the plug.
On chepo Chinese Bikes there has been problems with Carbs Iceing up and a fuel conditioner (Octane Booster, Silkolene is the trade name over here) has cured the problem.
However my savage starts and runs in cold (UK, not Alaska or Florida) conditions so easily, (compared to my 125 Yamaha) that I do not believe Octane boosting is your answer
