Need more info- is she cranking over or not? Is the starter doing its thing, or not? Does it sound "funny" when cranking? Is the battery fully charged?

Try cleaning the plugs first...

Mine takes a while to start too but i dont have to pop it. I guess since its a rotary motor it takes about 6 secs to start
