The engine needs ignition spark, fuel, air, and compression. If it has those things (and timing is correct), it has no choice but to run.

So, we need to narrow things down. Try this. See if the engine will start with starting fluid. If it starts and then stalls, we know it is a fuel related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check for spark at the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to check:

Let me know what you find.
