If it was me, I would try some fresh fuel and a fresh plug. If that doesn't work, try cleaning the carb and filter really well. It's probably something little (unless the compression is low or the motor is making noises). The good news is that you have spark, which is the more elusive of the two elements.

Earlier this month my 250 ran fine one day and no start the next. Spark was there but didn't look quite right. Ohm tested the stator terminals under the tank and found the numbers a little off. Swapped the stator and started in 2 kicks.
