A very good chance the carbs need to be cleaned. Pull them/it off and soak in carb cleaner. A couple of other things to check are spark and compression, but my guess is gunked up carbs. You can try to spray with carb cleaner while it is still on the bike, but my guess is they need a better cleaning than that.

yeh im sure it has spark ive put a new coil and lead and when i put the petrol in the chamber it start!!! but not for long once that petrols burned it stops... if i crank it with the plug out there seems to be compresion so i think il try the carby next.... wats this decompresion lever???

Sounds like the carb to me. Pull it off and soak it in carb cleaner for the recommended time. When gas sits and evaporates it leaves behind a varnish you have to get off since it clogs everything up. Soaking it in carb cleaner will do the trick. Note, the spray stuff will not work it is a special solvent you get at auto part store for it.
