Try to put more power to it Have it hooked up to a charger when you try an start it. Could be. A bad batttery or a bad starter. Is it getting fuel through the carb?

Does it turn over slowly, even with full charge? Does it puff smoke up through the carb? If so you have a timing problem. This happened to me and it was the woodruff key that gos in the groove on the crank shaft and hold the flywheel in place. A replacement was 55 cents. And then it ran fine again. You check it by removing the cover at the front of the engine then removing the big bolt thatbholds the flywheel on. If it's broken it will be obvious.
