Is the red knob on the right in the run position? Key turned all the way forward?

You might have fouled the plug - pull it, replace the cap, and hold it to your exhaust pipe while turning over. If the red kill switch is in middle position you ought to have a nice spark.
Then again you might have killed the battery trying to start! Or, like me, corroded the battery box to heck resulting in the voltage regulator falling off...

Re: 1986 honda spree
Do you have a compression gauge? It may be enough to push your finder off but it needs at least 80lbs to start. You'll need even more than that to keep it running

Remove the exhaust and see if it starts.
