Hi,

In most cases, a crank no start condition is caused by either a lack of fuel or a loss of ignition spark at the spark plugs.

I need you to try something. See if it starts if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, we need to check for an ignition spark at the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to do it:

Try this and let me know the results.
