Just one small suggestion. You didn't say the gas was new. If it has been sitting for a while, old fuel will do it. Good Luck

There is a possibility that there is a shut off valve on the gas line right under the tank.

Did you check the oil? Most have a switch that will prevent starting.

Check for spark and fuel first.

Dang, Harold and KISS got the only two great answers before I could get to this. Sorry Smearcase, your answers was very good but my bet is with Harold and KISS.
