    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.
