it's probably flooded... search, or look in the archive for howto's on unflooding... if it still wont start after you make sure its not flooded, or after you have unflooded it, let us know.... also try push starting it, (push it to get it moving, or roll it down a slight hill, in 1st gear with the clutch in, ignition on... etc.., then let out the clutch fast while it's rolling, you can start them like this when flooded or dead battery etc..)
