Won't start or won't turn over? If it won't turn over and it's a new battery I would look at the starter or solenoid. If it's turning over and won't start put a clear fuel filter right before the carb to make sure your getting fuel and take some plugs out and make sure your getting spark.

When you replaced the battery did you get the cables on good and do they look good, if it's clicking it might just not be getting a good enough connection to the battery, this might also be the solenoid.
