Hi,
In most cases, a crank no start condition is caused by either a loss of ignition spark or a fuel-related issue.
Here is what I need you to do. See if the engine will start using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it's a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, then I need you to check for spark at the plugs.

Let me know what you find.
