Motorcycle not working

Grrrrrrrrrrr.... I have no clue about what could be wrong. I was riding it home the other day, and when I pulled up to a stop sign, it just puttered out.

I pulled the air filter assembly off and checked the carb - it seems to be getting gas just fine. I sprayed it out with carb cleaner just in case. Drained the fuel in the tank to see if that was the problem. The gas looked and smelled fine. The air filter could use to be replaced, but it's not blocking anything. Tried to crank it. It'll crank, it'll turn over, but it won't catch.

Anyone have any ideas on what I should look for next? I'm sitting here with my hands smelling of carb cleaner and gasoline, admitting that I'm a mechanical dolt.
