Having already replaced the starter, solenoid and the battery.......this probably is NOT good news.
First you need to test the battery voltage after charging it up and letting it sit overnight.
If it is not at least 12.5 volts, you got a BAD new battery.

Then, if that checks out, take the spark plugs out and leave them out.
Try to turn the engine over with no compression and see what happens.
Do NOT get your face near the plug holes when doing that because gas might come flying out.
Your engine might be locked up......either mechanically or hydro-locked because of liquid in the cylinders.

You are asking some pretty ....mmmmm.....far out questions.
Your previous post said that it started and ran so it is NOT hydro-locked.
But yes, almost anything is fixable.

And no, the carb "heater" probably has nothing to do with it.
BUT you really should not be testing it without ALL of the parts connected, especially the stock air filter and pipes.

I total agree I don't have stock pipe it has shotgun pipes on it .....thank you for all ur help

And a small clarification:
The Carb heater should have nothing to do with it not starting.
It MIGHT have an impact on not running good after it gets started though.
