Hi,

The first two thing I would check for is spark to the plugs and fuel to the engine. The easiest way to do this is to simply see if it starts for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it starts and then stalls, it's a fuel related issue. If it does nothing, then it's likely ignition related.

Here is a link that you may find helpful also. Take a look through it. It discusses the most common causes of a crank no start condition.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
