A) Fouled spark plug.
B) Bad ign. coil.
C) Bad fuel line.
D) Bad switch
E) No compression due to running straight gas (no oil mix)
Piston, cylinder damaged.
F) Water in fuel.
Use a 5\8" socket and remove the spark plug.
Plug the spark plug back in to the boot. hold it to the engine sideways to see if you have spark.
Use a flashlight to look into the engine spark plug hole and see if there is "scorring" on the inside of the engine cylinder.
If you have spark, and engine looks OK, then put the plug back in, and spray some carb cleaner or starting fluid into the air filter.
and try to start.
How's the compession? If you can use two fingers to pull the cord, it's too low.
