Did this happen all at once? Are you getting spark? Will it start for a few seconds with starting fluid?

Let me know.

As far as the spark, it should be a blue snapping spark for it to run properly. Since starting fluid is more volatile and will burn easier, it may start with it. Let me know what you find.
