Did the "ON/OFF" switch slide to the "OFF" Position ? Mine does that. Did you mix "OIL" with the gasoline that you added ? It is probably a two stroke motor (which needs "PRE-MIX" oil added to the gasoline, add 3 oz. of two stroke oil per gallon of gas, that will give you a 50:1 fuel ratio which should be correct). Is there water (from condensation) in the fuel ? Has the fuel soured ?, always start w/ fresh fuel, avoid using "stablizers" in fuel.

Best senario = something got plugged in the intake or if it is a vaccume you got a clump of leaves in the impeller.
Worst senario=Your gas to oil ratio was wrong when re filling your machine and it was on the lean side (to little oil) and the unit is now a paper weight!
Check this out first:
1 Does the pull cord still pull, if no the unit is likely a paper weight!
2 Is the air filter dirty, Clean it out and try restarting.
3 Was your gas clean with no water in it?
4 Was their dirt in the tank that might of got stirred up when re filling and plugged the gas line?
5 is the kill switch fully in the on position?
Hope this helps,

could be alot of things. air filter stopped up, muffler screen stopped up, trash in the carb, bad spark plug, bad gas, on off switch, coil getting hot and stop working. try letting it cool off for about an hour and try it again.
