Check to see if you have spark and fuel.

Hold the throttle while trying to start it, then pull a spark plug out.. and see if its wet. Wet = fuel

Spark, take a spark plug out... connect it to the spark plug wire.. .and turn the engine over while someone holds it.... look for a spark... or just hold it

Try spaying a can of 2+2 in the intake and see if it runs for a little ,but but sounds like you havea bad fuel pump.
