Hi,
This can be caused by several different things. In most cases, it is due to a loss of fuel or ignition spark.
I need you to try something. First, see if it will start if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls after a few seconds, we know its fuel related. If there is no change, then it is likely ignition related. At that point, we need to check for ignition spark to the plugs.
Here is a link that explains how that is done:

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if the engine sounds the same when you try starting it. In other words, does the starter turn the same or does it seem faster or slower?
Let me know.
