Let's start simple. Raise the hood and roll open the throttle and then let it close and turn it in the closed direction. That is counterclockwise looking over the driver's side fender. The reach in and do not touch the accel pedal and crank it over.
If the throttle switch doesn't close and make contact the idle valve will not be set to the right position and it could be too lean to fire off.
OR it is flooded.
Do you know if it has spark? Do you smell raw gas when you crank it over?
