pull the snorkle back from the intake and spray some carb/throttle cleaner into the throttle body. replace the snorkle and try starting the engine. if it now starts (at least tries, or runs for a second and then dies) the problem is that it is not getting fuel. then suspect a bad fuel pump or clogged fuel filter.
post your result and i'll be glad to give further assistance.
