Let's start with the basics. Do you have compression? Check it with a compression guage- should have at least 100 psi to make it run. If you don't have a guage, use the thumb test. Take out the sparkplug, put your thumb over the hole and crank. You should not be able to hold back the pressure during the compression stroke. It should pop your thumb off the hole.
Has this buggy been running OK up to this point? Did it quit while running or just fail to start? Give us some info and we can help you.
